The arguments for "Yes" in the UK referendum on the Alternative Vote system are much less stupid and the arguments for "No", which frankly insult my intelligence :-(. Even worse are the hypocritical arguments of the conservative and labour parties for a No vote, when they use the Alternative Vote system to elect their own leaders!

UK referendum on the Alternative Vote system

Wow! I did not know the Cons and Labour used the AV system to elect their leaders.
ReplyDeletePlus of course we use AV to elect the London mayor. I voted Yes to Av too, GB, but I wonder how many other people will actually bother to vote at all? My polling station was completely empty apart from me, and the officials told me they were having a very quiet day.
ReplyDeleteSadly Dave, Boris and Red Ed in and of themselves aren't exactly arguments in favour of AV.
