Re: To AV, or not to AV?

you do realise scotland isnt using FPTP now right?

Your blinkered view and faith in FPTP is scary, you really dont understand the true nature of the beast. Yes safe seats will ocassionaly change it doesnt change the fact tho that votes above the winning margin are wasted and votes for the loser are wasted. Leading to a result that isnt proportional to the votes cast, the 2010 election showed this greatly when the lib dems had almost as much votes as labour but got way less seats.

http://www.yorkforvotingreform.org.uk/fair.htm

check the bottom graph on that page. In 2010 the lib dems needed almost 3 times as many votes to win a seat than the 2 main parties. Yet you posting rubbish saying every vote is equal.

Incidently I think elections shouldnt have any leaflet posting, the only campaigning should be candidates knocking on doors speaking to voters personally, the only tv coverage should be live debates.
