Not a happy voter



Alan Johnson, the Health Secretary, finds the AV+ PR voting system “elegant”. Well, elegance has nothing to do with it. How about “intelligible” or “transparent”, as a Single Transferable Vote system would be? The AV+ has you voting in part for a party list. I will not start on the patronage issue. It’s too bleeding obvious. Then I look at the voting forms for the MEP’s on June 4th. Here you are clearly voting for the party rather than the individual and that is just as screwed up.
