Thread Name: BS: Any thoughts on AV? (Alternative Vote)
Subject: RE: BS: Any thoughts on AV?
(I thought this thread was about the Authorised Version of the Bible! But never mind, I'll throw in my two-penn'th anyway.)

I intend to vote for AV, mainly because Martin Bell supports it and my MP doesn't. Personally I think the Anglo-Saxon system of government was better than anything we've had since, but it's not on offer now. In the Blair/Brown duopoly the present system delivered us the worst disaster since the war and any change which avoids a repetition of that has to be for the better, especially as the MPs themselves don't want it. The "No" campaign has had to resort to scaremongering, which usually means it's they themselves who are scared. I'll vote for anything which stands a chance of opening the Westminster windows to let some air in, so I'll be voting "Yes".
