Under FPTP if they live in a safe Conservative, Liberal-Democrat seat or have a right-wing Labour MP and want to vote for a left-wing candidate they haven’t any democratic way of making their preference count, this is still the case with AV. Under STV they can vote for a communist, green-left or socialist party candidate and it will count as part of the national vote proportionally given for all parties in the election, this is how democracy should work.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363844837499772495noreply@blogger.com
