Re: To AV, or not to AV?

I am just posting facts. In terms of their votes compared to labour, labours went up by a significantly bigger margin so they would likely win a general election held tommorow if people voted the same way. Now when I said the tories popularity has gone down, granted the council results dont reflect that so I am unsure of what to think of that. This forum seems to have a high amount of right wing support, however other forums and people I know in real life dont reflect that.

Bear in mind the last election labour lost a lot of seats, the tories had a very high swing in their favour, its easier for labour to get small swing back then it is for the tories to get a further swing which would be needed to get all out power. Usually the party in power especially in recession does not get a swing in their favour at a general election.
