PR - YES!!!
AV - NO!!!
In the Daily Mail of
Tuesday,September14-2010-Letters-
'Vote for change
by a reader from Henley-on Thames R.R.
'THE HOT AIR being
genertaed about the proposed alternative vote system id a
red herring because AV does nothing to address the biggest
injustice of all-the imbalance between votes cast and seats
won.
In practice, AV sometimes gives even
more bizarre results than out much-maligned F-P-T-Post.
This debate shoud be about which
PROPORTIONAL VOTING SYSTEM
to choose:
the GERMAN and NEW ZEALAND
model
which is pretty good,
or the even better single transferable
vote(STV) used in
IRELAND
STV is very practical as it doesn't
lead to the election of lots of smaller parties; at the same
time,STV leads the way as the most
VOTER FRIENDLY
UNFORTUNATELY, politicians are driven
by the LUST FOR POWER and STV puts TOO! MUCH! of THIS POWER
into the hands of the ELECTORS. Which is why they are
trying to seduce us with the
NON EVENT
of
AV '
