Simply put, don't listen to ANY MP over this, as they are telling you what is best for their party - not for the country.
For me, AV has everything that FPTP has, but then adds more. Its a no-brainer IMO.
I don't get it, just means a party with fewer votes could get in, seems stupid. Also how much is the referendum costing us at a time when they're making massive cuts and how much more will it cost if it goes ahead? Much more important things to sort out and spend money on.
you could always abstain

No it was the official one- havent seen the tories one.
I hate the tories but at least if you vote for them you know what you will get.
Anything that knocks Cleggs nose out of joint will get my vote.
Le Chuck said:no more stupid than someone who 2/3rds voted against getting in with a 170 seat majority
Parochial twonk. Clegg will be gone in a few years and no-one will remember the reasons for your 'protest', just that you gave every Tory and Labour government from now till doomsday the mandate to rule the country with a third of the vote.
The arguments against AV are laughable and insulting.
The idea the system is to complicated FFS. Are they really saying the British public can't count to a number higher than 1?
I would say there will be a very large number of people who won't understand. Being able to count past 1 doesn't explain how your vote will work.
I'm not convinced as yet and will be giving it a lot of thought before I cast my vote.
You put a one next to who you want, if there is someone else you would like to win if he doesn't you can stick a two next to him and so on.
It's the electoral equivalent of sending someone to the shop for some pop and telling them you'd like a can of fanta but if they don't have that you'd like a can of coke. Have you ever heard anyone struggle with that?
I understand it however there will be many who won't. Do you think they will know whether it is compulsory to put a number against each candidate for instance? The SMB is proof that a lot of people struggle with the simplest instructions. Admittedly a lot who would struggle wouldn't vote anyway but I do think it is a genuine concern.
The fact remains that, under AV, the Lib Dems are likely to substantially increase (almost double) their number of Seats.
It is for that reason, along with the fact that the YES campaign is funded by a company likely to benefit financially from a YES vote, that I'll be voting NO.
Party-political? Yes.
Am I arsed? No.
From what I can see mate parties like the liberals and BNP will prosper under this scheme and thats what worries me.
Clegg was everything to everyone before the election and look at him now the two faced tw*t.
At least with the tories and labour you know what you are getting!
