Can't
get more fairer than that.

With AV the supporters of extremist and single issue parties will often
get
their votes counted several times, whilst a voter of Labour or Tory may
only have their vote counted once during the same election. That is not
a
fair system.

They only get their vote counted once, If their first choice is eliminated
that vote ceases to exist. If labour or conservative is last then the
labour
or conservative's supporter's first choice is eliminated too. It will
happen
in some areas.

Earlier in this thread, when using the name Old Codger, you were agreeing
with me that votes could be counted 1,2,3,4 or 5 times. Are you trying to
be two people with opposing views? for AV, Old Codger for
FPTP?
