Eh? You aren't obliged to make more than one preference.
Er, right. Literally no idea on the relevance like.

As John Reid helpfully pointed out today, voting was made compulsory in Australia because turnout dropped significantly after AV was introduced.

Yes at the moment for me.
And if want to still vote for 1 person then you still can.
Seems simple to understand and the current system Is shite.
At least this way you will need 50% of the votes cast to get in.
The year after AV was introduced, turnout at three consecutive Aussie elections was at 71-72%, higher than each of the last three British general elections under FPTP.
I'm not even that into AV, there's just a whole ton of shite being spoken.
Apologies, I understood that you would be obliged to make more than one choice - so I'm happy to be corrected. I don't actually agree with that - you either mark one or them all in my book - no inbetween.
So the only way it'd be fair is if you're not obliged to make more than one preference? And when you aren't obliged to make more than one preference that's now not on?
Special.
Definitely. On both sides. Because people don't fully understand the system which makes them easier to exploit with simple political statements rather that intellectual discussions of the merits of the system.
I'm still voting no like.
I'm surprised at the confusion. COAB assured me everybody fully understood how it worked.

It's only fair if everybody has to do one thing or the other.
If everybody marks one candidate we pick a winner - the person who gets the most votes.
If everybody marks all the candidates we pick a winner using the AV system.
If we end up in a situation where some people pick one, some people pick two and some people pick three or more how is that possibly fair to the candidates who people have only voted for once - some candidate gets more than one bite of the cherry..
Nothing special about it at all - just common sense.
Now please go and drink from your cup marked sarcasm.![]()

Richard Lionheart said:I'll be taking the sensible option and voting No.
Which by all accounts is not true according to some bloke on sky
Why?
Hardly surprising. The No campaign has been a tissue of lies and misrepresentations from the start.
I've seen the debates and read what both side have had to say. I agree with the No campaign.
Plus COAB is pushing for people to vote Yes, taking into account his awful record with anything politics that set alarm bells ringing.

Reminds me a lot of the way the Lisbon Treaty referendum was run over here.
The NO vote was a well-funded hoodwink by a load of shady organisations that came from nowhere and disappeared into the ether. They scared people into voting NO by spreading absolute bullshit.
I can see it happening in the UK. There are lot of gullible fear-junkies out there.
