The problem with AV is that it is not PR.

and the problem with that observation is that the voter cannot demonstrate the difference...

that is why i is pissed off.... i mean what is not happening is that there is a proper debate about what the no vote ie no to AV means or the no vote to status quo means it's really pathetic considering the one thing an elected member to the house should understand is the complexity of voting stuff... meanwhile just to keep cleggy happy with a stoopid compromise we is stuffed by the idiots as an electorate not being given a real say as to what we would like to vote on as change


mind you the only vote i really want is to see the complete backend of the tories and libdems like forever....

which would leave a completely real political vacuum to be fought over
GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,

I think the reasoning behind the compromise is that the parties are already familiar with AV as they all use it to elect their leaders. this would get more within politics on board the AV campaign from the start.
AV, I fear will turn more people off voting at all, which in it's self might not be a bad thing.
