STV also has the advantage that if you really detest a particular candidate, you can give plenty of other candidates your preferences and not rank your least favoured candidate at all. So your Tory friend could give his first few preferences to Tories, then to UKIP, then to various independents or Greens, then to Labour and then to other Lib Dem candidates and not give a preference at all to John Leech. The converse is that if you like a particular candidate but don't like their party, you can give that person a high preference and not give any to the rest of their party colleagues. STV provides the greatest flexibility for individual voters.Bernard Salmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756716991445396009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-40522978165000877002009-06-12T12:40:11.901+01:002009-06-12T12:40:11.901+01:00That UKIP man has got a top name, almost as good a...That UKIP man has got a top name, almost as good as mine!david cameron's foreheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506127135509442625noreply@blogger.com
