Voting time!

This doesn't surprise me.  It goes back to what I said in my previous post.  "Is AV really the only other option?"  The fact that 'No' came out on top doesn't necessarily have to mean that the majority of British people don't recognise the need for a change in the current system, just that they don't think AV is the way forward.

We were only given two choices: yes or no for a system that is barely any better than the current system and apparently quite confusing for many people.  People have enough trouble getting off their arses to make one tick in a box, let alone asking them to choose their top three.  Aren't they suposed to be encouraging people to go to the polls, not put them off?  I think if we had been given a list of 3 or 4 possible alternatives (including proper PR) rather than just 1, then most of the 'No' voters would have voted for one of the other systems.  Though, I guess the question of how best to count those votes might have needed a separate referendum of its own

Seriously though, once I heard the words England and Reform I knew there'd be no hope
