[Pauline]

i've already voted -No because I don't like the idea that your 3rd or 4th choice vote could potentially be used. :thumbsup:

[PixiePetal]

not sure what I will do - will look through the leaflet later!

got other things to worry about at the moment :rolleyes:

[Mouse]

I'll be off to vote and I'll be voting no.

I've read what I can on it, but nothing I've seen has convinced me it would work.

[Blaze]

I'm voting No for reasons already stated...also I think it would cost a fortune to implement!

[Splodge]

I have also already voted and voted no, again for all the reasons already stated.

I want my vote to count for the party i want to win. I really can't see how changing things is going to improve the situation, especially as most people don't understand how it works.

Also nobody around here has recieved the leaflet that was supposed to explain everything and are not interested enough to investigate.

I have already posted my 'NO' vote, see too many of these votes before at groups and things where everyones second choice seems to get voted in!

I am voting No. I cant remember which countries changed their voting system, but did read that most voters wanted it changed back. I want to just vote for one party and its going to cost huge amounts of money to change the system that the country can ill afford at this point

I haven't had my leaflet either!:rolleyes:

[alwaysright]

mmmm and i wonder why nick clegg is so up for the yes vote!! its the only way him or his party would ever stand a chance as it means whoever comes second or THIRD -as they always do- could actually get into power

[Hebs]

I haven't had my leaflet either!:rolleyes:

none here either :rolleyes:

[mushpea]

I dont think i will vote cause i am totaly confused by it all thanks to the OH plus we havent had a leafltet explaining it plus they are all like kids squabling in a playround over who is best and not only that they go on about how important education is then close my sons school to use as a polling station:eek: er hello!

[The Juggler]

if it were PR, I'd be voting but I'm not sure this AV is any better than what we have now:panic: :panic:

I don't understand why they didn't go down the route of PR :huh:

One thing I have against AV is that it seems to me it could discriminate against those who have problems with numbers. If you have to number your top candidates in ascending order, by number, then it might prove difficult for some people and even put them off using their vote. I thought we were supposed to be making things more accessible and inclusive not less.:rolleyes:

[Daisy1956]

I voted no nothing wrong with the present system so why change it.

[rickysmiths]

Well the 'no' vote seems to have won.

[Pauline]

Well the 'no' vote seems to have won.

Both on here and in real life :)
