Thread Name: BS: Any thoughts on AV? (Alternative Vote)
Subject: RE: BS: Any thoughts on AV?
I shall be voting Yes because it's a nudge in the right direction and I'm fed up with having to vote for people and parties I don't believe in. Despite the scaremongering of the NOs, AV is quite amenable to manual counting, and I don't see how it can be any more susceptible to corruption than FPTP, which has staggered from scandal to scandal, and given the world the term 'gerrymandering'. I also remember the Scottish devolution referendum where people voted against that particular manifestation because it didn't go far enough, and were then told that they had voted against devolution in any form.
