Voting systems

On Thursday the UK holds a referendum on future voting systems for elections. The alternatives are to stay with the current system - called First Past the Post or switch to something called Alternative Vote.

Naturally the BBC has an outline of the issues: Q&A: Alternative vote referendum

Other than the issues of the groups supporting each system promoting themselves - advertising, PR etc there is the significance of this for the future political shape of the UK for the next generation or two.

If you are eligible to vote in this election think carefully, and participate.
