YES. The chance for reform might not come again. It is a step in the right direction.

Also I really want my views to be better represented. I will vote for the greenest candidates, in order of greenness. If we all vote like that, it'll be much clearer which policies are widely supported.

We could get a lot more women into parliament too.

Yes.

My fear is that if we say no to AV, that will be seen as a green light for the current system, which is demonstrably crap.

Any change is better than no change.

I see the point Giddy but it is the first step..remember the order hates change. PR is the next step..we have to try this first!

madhattershouse · 21/04/2011 00:20

YES!!! In many areas there are safe seats..AV would mean that in some of those your vote would actually count! Not in mine though..too safe waiting for real PR! Won't hold my breath though Angry

NO from me.

I think AV would be better than the current system where a few occupants of a very few seats hold the balance of power for the government. It would mean people had to work a bit harder to win which is a good thing.

Yes.
