Even with Most polls pointing to a win for the ‘no’ camp in the referendum AV, They Are sweaty and unpredictable, like a frightened tiger in a cage. Tory and Labour backbenchers are slipping Into incandescent rage at irregular intervals. “” For years now, Labour and the Conservatives Have exercised a dominance in British politics Which Does not Match Their relevance. Theys Have Their supporters, of course – the loyal Armies That dutifully travel to conferences Their EACH year. And THEY Have Their core support, the dyed-in-wool Tory and Labour Families Who Have Been Propping up safe seats for decades. And yet, very FEW people in this country now claim to Will Always back one Political Party. Ask Someone on the street Which They’re loyal party and chances are Towards They Will not Support Any of ‘em, although THEY Will vote for’ em on occasion. The current system Does not Recognise Them. It Punisher allegiance Broad Political, Political Thought and complex diversity. It Consolidate the strength of small, isolated Groupings in parliament. If you can not fit your Thoughts Into the Tory or Labour box, first-past-the-post Will not listen to you. “” Those of different inclinations are Usually Forced to resort to tactical voting, the great bane of British elections. People Have Their preferred candidate and then THEY Have Their realistic candidate. They Vote to keep out the one THEY dislike the most. It Is An intensely negative process. It is politics as damage limitation. ” Mr Sceptic. FPTP IS NOT Either one man one vote. Where I Grew Up Any vote WAS worthless Because The Tories Always won, i could not make a difference, so i had no vote, no one man vote. Crow. AV IS NOT perfect, It Is not one man one vote Which is PR, i prefer the German system. purpose as long as the Tories and Labour control everything, nothing ever changes Will. AV IS a start, with AV We Can Move Forward, if we stay with FPTP then you Will never ever get any PR system, You Will Never Get referendum on Things. We only vote Have This Because The Lib Dems are in coalition for the first time in a long, long time, That Says Something. More parties, more coalitions and We Will get more and more likely to say What we really think. Those Who are voting No. Basically Saying They Do not Want to vote in referenda, They Do not want to tell the govt What to think. The right wing media AV Because It Keeps Their chances of Being at the top, half of Labour too. The Murdoch newspapers are Saying lots of rChosen one: Yes, i am in a hole, i have to vote tactically, i see with a two-party stranglehold on politics and They Will not let go. One chance in Thrity, Forty Years We Have to change this, and people just do not SEEM to care. I complain about the U.S. and the Two party system There Leading to corruption. We Have corruption, We Have a chance to change it so the smaller parts Cdn fight corruption, and people say “we want corruption,” “we want MPs Expenses scandal” “we want illegal wars”. Voting a party for your favorite, 2 for your second favorite Is What I Want. AV IS NOT perfect, and Many of the anti-AV Things Are the Same for FPTP, but i want a say, and i want smaller parts to Have a say! I would prefer a German style system, intended Without AV We Will Never Get it! FPTP all the way! But The Same People Who complain about the status quo, are the ones voting for the status quo!
