Yes, I agree with charlie but I am sure most of your commentators will take the other view. I think AV creates an artificial impression that candidates have been endorsed by voters who have simply ranked them as 'not as bad as some other candidate'. I think the aim of those keen to introduce AV it is to ensure permanent coalition government, which will remove political decision making to an arena of post-election stitch ups behind closed doors, and give them an alibi to roll back the NHS, universal education, minimum wage etc, which is against the interests and will of the majority.
