There was another thread about this, and I will say what I said in the last one for those that missed it. Only three countries in the world have AV: Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Australia. Fiji and Australia want to get rid of it.

Nick Cleg, who insisted on a referendum on voting reform described AV as "a miserable little compromise".

It will give unfair advantage to minority parties. Rather than the candidiate with the most votes winning, under AV the person who came third might win. We will be forced into coalition governments forevermore.

Calculating the results would be long and complicated. Anyone who's ever been to a political count will know that it already takes allllllllllllll day. AV take much longer to count than the current sustem and will require specialist equipment. AV will cost us millions.

I think some people who are supporting AV don't truly understand the implications of it. It is not proportional representation.

My advice on voting on AV would be... Vote "no" as your first choice, and "yes" as your second choice.
