Re: alternative vote

I was advocating that people think...and think clearly, about what they want for their own local area. What issues are there? How can they be sorted out? Is the man(or woman) canvassing your vote,...

Re: alternative vote

Ken, I somehow think you have missed the point...maybe I waffled on a bit much:).
That was exactly what I was saying. Local politics are a different ball game altogether and should not be viewed in...

Re: alternative vote

Voting for AV won't make voting more interesting, it may have a catastrophic effect on who actually gets into power....you may get the very last person you would want to be governing you.
