Default A.V - Yes or No?

Will you be voting for or against the new voting system this May?

FPTP - Current System (First past the post)
- You put a cross by the canidate you want to win
- The canidate with the most crosses wins that seat, even if they didn't get over 50% of the vote

A.V - Proposed New Sytem (Alternative vote)
- In this system to be elected you have to get over 50% of the vote
- When voting rather than crossing who you want to win, you but numbers by your preferences, for example, your favourite candidate number 1, your second favourite number 2
- If not candidate gets over 50% the candiate with the least votes is eliminated, and the second votes are balloted up
- This continues untill one candidate has over 50% of the popular vote
- It is argued this system will mean all parties have a larger chance of being considered
