Says this man, Peter Shirtcliffe.
His youthful enthusiasm to steal your chance to be represented by the politician you want is charming in a refreshing, boyish kind of way.
You'll probably want to do as he insists.

We actually have STV in our local government elections, which I think works really well. The problem is going to be, with the likes of P Sutcliffe hovering in the background, that people will be scared off considering other forms of voting by the First-past-the-post bogeyman.
STV is an elegant system but doesn't always translate into success on the ground. People have found it confusing, perhaps where it wasn't well presented or wanted by those who enjoyed power prior to the introduction of the new system.
I think it's the best method for fair representation but I don't think it will fly on a national scale any time soon. FPP is dead in the water, much the way Shirtcliffe looks :-)
