Comment on UK Electoral Reform – Alternative Vote System by Michael.

Germany currently has a PR list based system, we forced it on them after WW2. Quite the contrary to the poster above, PR has created a stable and strong Germany.

Now I am not a fan of the alternative voting system because it is complex, still means votes will not count and is not true PR. Only a list based system is PR. We need a true PR list based system for the commons and the Lords can then be elected on First Past the Post, and be converted to a house of representatives. They would then be our personal representatives. In this way the argument against a list based system, that of constituencies could be overcome. Furthermore the supremacy of the commons would be maintained because of the superior electoral system.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, stands above every single persons vote counting. Anything less is not democracy!

Most European countries also have some form of PR. If you want to talk about the Weimar Republic and Germany please know what you are talking about first. The reason Hitler was able to gain power had nothing to do with having an Alternative Voting System. It was actually because the Weimar Republic printed money, lied about inflation and destroyed the wealth of the middle classes and the poor whilst letting rich people wipe away their debts…. just like the housing bubble. Why do people vote BNP, because the very reason people are being ignored and feel disenfranchised!
