The last PCC election was not won on the first choice votes, it was won on the second choice. I can't see how that can be reflective.

Anyhoo, I would vote against AV again. Unless someone comes up with a better alternative then I would be happy to stick with what we have.

Perhaps you and I could devise a new system Livia.

I do like the idea of strong govt that comes from first past the post, even if I disagree with the govt at the time but I do think we need a threshold of acceptable percentage of votes needing to be gained to form a majority govt now.
Something to further endorse that would get my vote for sure.
