The situation we are in nationally is potentially what we could get countrywide - people in power that fewer people voted for and it smacks to me of a back door way for runners up to gain control. If someone gets more votes than someone else, however small the numbers or however narrow the margin, then they should win in my opinion.

Sorry Ken got the wrong impression, If we went to a AV system we would have more coalition governments, with people like the BNP Green EDL even the MRLP holding the balance of power, take a look what happens in Italy, it would be more destabilising than anything really, plus the fact that come May 5th I would be very surprised if the overall turnout would be over 50%
