Those BBC headlines are getting worse even if it does 'get the job done'...
Anyway, that article suggests to me there will be a level of confusion that distorts the vote anyway

I insist on my politicians being odd, but being prime is one step better. 7 for prime minister! |

The Tories are running scared because they know this will make it just that little bit harder to form a government, and even if they do manage it they won't get away with being absolute pricks. |

I'd prefer a bunch of wise old men and women rather than PR driven MPs who grew up in Thatchers time. |

I have always held that if the voting system changes, a general election must be called immediately the law is passed. This ensures that the electorate get an immediate say in how the country should be run under the new system. A formed this opinion in the 1980’s firmly in the knowledge that if we changed to PR at the time, the Tories would suffer a a loss or a very, very reduced power base. I hold that opinion even today, in times when it’s hard to predict how an AV election would run if held this year. |
