UK to get AV Referendum?

So... the election's over and we're looking like we get to make a choice over AV

Personally I think this is a bad idea.

If we all get to vote if we face an AV... that could take ages forming a team.

Likewise... but I think GMs need reform

I would welcome a referendum to be honest, wether it goes places.. thats to be decided however. ^^

Myself upon viewing final 10 possible declarations of election:

  • "So what'd you think of David Cameron for our PM then?"
Brother:
  • "I thought Avatar was a great film!"
I loved that, were not a fan of him. Cleggordon for GM!

I think that the parlimentary issue should be sorted the old fashioned way.

Let them fight to the death and then elect Jeremy Clarkson for PM anyway

The Tories and Labour never have, nor ever will, reform a pre-Victorian practice that has regularly enabled them to claim a substantial majority in the House of Commons when they receive barely more than a third of the vote. I very much doubt we'll see anything like a single transferable vote, for example, in my lifetiime. We'll end up fannying about for 6 months while the Conservative machinery takes steps to undermine Clegg's credibility before calling another election, which will probably deliver them a small majority. Then Cameron can point to his 35% of the vote and claim he has a "mandate from the British people". And to think we join wars to fight for democracy... It would be nice to try practicing that form of government at home. You know, just for the novelty.

And while I'm in mid-rant, it occurs to me that if the media want to treat the office of Prime Minister as if it were a Presidency, then we should have an option to restructure the institutions of government, not just the mechanisms by which we elect them. We shoudn't do it just because it makes for big TV audiences every 4 or 5 years though.


*goes back to grumbling incoherently in the corner*


PS: The fight to the death thing worls for me as well, though. But surely if anyone can get us out of this economic mess, it'd be Johnny Ball..!

Although I've been mildly following the back and forth in the recent election, I am not knowledgeable enough to truly follow your folks conversation.

It is definitely politics though.
