"<br />Why sadly? PR would be great but AV is not the same, it could give equally unrepresentative results. It might be possible under AV for the SNP to get 45% of the votes in Scotland and no MPs (if all other voters put the SNP as their last choice and they got less than 50% in every constituency). I don't like the SNP but that wouldn't be a good think.L fairfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274756119129254373noreply@blogger.com
