Comment on Proportional Representation : The Single Transferable Vote by Andy Gibbs.

True, but that’s life. PR will come and when it does it needs a 10, maybe 20 year, transition period where we explore the best system for the UK. That means starting with ATV. It is important to get the balance between a fair distribution of MPs and having your own MP.
Never should anyone be allowed to vote on behalf of anyone else. This is an invitation to corruption. Compulsory voting, as in Australia and Brazil, is another matter. Personally, I think this is one area where people should be forced to be free.
