Re: To AV, or not to AV?

Thinking of an election as a system that just votes in individual leaders for constituences vs as a system that elects parties to run the country it does a poor job. I think this is how me and chris are looking at it differently.

Also think of the costs saved with campaigns with no tv adverts, no printed press adverts and no leaflets. This reduces dependencies from parties to rich individuals who fund campaigns and increases the relation between the voter and their candidates as they are forced to knock on more doors.
