Guest 'Bloggers' debate the AV (Alternative Vote)

HU12 IS DELIGHTED to have two guests writing articles for our debate on AV over on our Ward Election News pages.

Writing for the YES! to Fairer Votes Campaign is Hannah Arnold who is the Chair of the Campaign in Hull. In her article Hannah explains what she sees as the unfairness of the current FPTP system (First Past The Post) because MPs are elected with only 35% of people voting for them in some cases. She claims the AV system is as simple as counting up to three.

The NO to AV campaigner is Conservative MP Robert Goodwill. He claims that AV is unpopular and complicated with only three countries in the world using the system. He says that the only parties to benefit from a change in the system would be Liberals and extremists.
