The British Electorate sounded a resounding “NO” to the Alternative Vote. They voted two to one against the AV and therefore to retain the “first past the post” system that has been in place for the last couple of hundred years.
That was the common sense vote. The only people who would vote for the AV are probably members of the also ran parties. Parties that are so desperate to get into power that they are prepared to gamble that they might win a vote on people’s 2nd choices.
Who on earth would want to be governed by a 2nd choice government ?
