Here's a quick link to a BBC article that shows how 2005's election outcome would change under various voting systems. One of the issues for the UK to consider is how difficult it is to implement these different systems. For example, moving to Alternative Vote (AV) where you simply rank candidates could be done very easily - no changes in constituency boundaries or in the number of MPs per constituency. However, if we moved to Single Transferable Vote (STV), we would need to design larger, multi-member constituencies which would take quite some time to sort out I imagine! Of course, the ones take a little longer to implement also seem to be the ones that are more proportional. More on this later!
What is this blog?
Welcome one and all to a blog like any other. Here lies yet another unstructured, incoherent set of ill-informed ramblings that serves to clog up the already polluted and much-abused blogosphere. However, amongst the inevitable dross there is an infinitesimal possibility that I may write something of note, consequence, value or substance. I look forward to that day.
