Thread Name: BS: Any thoughts on AV? (Alternative Vote)
Subject: RE: BS: Any thoughts on AV?
I don't follow your argument, Don. Yes, we are talking 50% of votes, not voters, but all that means is the FPTP is even less representative and the people currentlĂ˝ elected may have only 10-15% of eligable voter support whereas AV might push that up to 25% of eligable voters by insisting on 50% of votes cast. I can't see why that's a case for keeping FPTP
