Will it make the remotest smidgin of difference? Bit like 3 points for a win, looks a bit like it ought to change things, but if you look at the tables at the end the results are mostly the same as they would have been before.
How many points would you need to offer Stoke to try against Man City in the league if they have lost the cup final?Watching Spurs v Arsenal during the week I became convinced that four points for a win is the way forward. Two teams desperate for a win may result in more games like that.
If AV is good enuff for Papua New Guinea and Fiji then its more than good enuff for the the UK's great unwashed.
How times change. It was only a short time ago that a few on here where blaming Blair/Brown/New Labour for everything that had gone wrong in the last few years.
They shouted for change and said Conservatives or Lib Dems were the way forward. Well.....they got what they wished for.
Now it seems Cameron and Clegg are the bad guys.
You wanted this......live with it.

If that's aimed at me, as the OP, then you're wrong. I've made no secret of my political allegiances (Labour) on the SMB. I started the thread on an apolitical basis, just as AV is being campaigned for on an apolitical basis. I make no comment about the parties of the politicians cited in the BBC article. My point is that their behaviour in the AV campaign is letting down the electorate. This is not a thread about the policies of their parties.
There is no way the coalition will last the full 5 years either![]()
It'll be interesting to see what we get to vote for at the next election. Will the tories and liberals stand separately or will labour be the only major opposition party? Can you see Clegg if he is still there saying "vote for us so we can be junior party in a coalition again"?There is no way the coalition will last the full 5 years either![]()
Why two thirds? Surely half plus one would be enough by the current rules.Unless two thirds of the commons decide it shouldn't, it will

I would love it if they added "none of the above" as a choice. I know they won't but they say the voting public are apathetic. If we are it is not about politics but the current system.
