Each voter gets 1 vote, votes are added up, candidate with most votes is the winner. Can't get more fairer than that. Excpet that: * Most of the MPs it returns have more people voting *against* than *for* them, and You can only vote for someone, not against. And under the AV system it's possible that a candidate with even less votes that a FPTP winner, will be elected Extremely unlikely. Under AV the winner will almost always have 50% of the vote. This does not happen very often under FPTP. As that's the definition of the way AV works, then yes the wiiner will have to have more than half the votes cast. But that's over half the people who listed the winner *anywhere* on their list of preferences, not over half the voters wanting that candidate to win. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
