I created this thread to discuss the merits of the Alternative Voting system. Tiberius mentioned in one of my other threads that he voted for it in a UK referendum a couple of years ago and I'm curious to hear his views on it as I voted against it. It seemed a topic worthy of it's own thread.
So what does anyone think of AV?
I'm against it because it feels to me like a system not aimed at electing the most popular party, but one aimed at electing the least unpopular party.
I also suspect the Lib Dems had ulterior motives for proposing it as they are the third largest political party in the UK and are politically inbetween the other two.
