Re: UK Referendum on AV
Can anyone point me to good description of the opposition to this reform? Why wouldn’t you want to define your opinion to a higher degree? Are the mechanics of the proposal wrong?
Here in Canada the Conservative party just won 54.2% of the seats in parliament with 39.6% of the popular vote. The Liberals 11% of the seats with 18.9% of the votes. The Green Party won .003% of the seats in parliament with 3.9% of the popular vote. The New Democrats got 33% of seats with 30.6% of the votes.
This just seems wrong. Wouldn’t the AV proposal reduce this discrepancy?
