Pint at the pub or a coffee in a cafe? It's not difficult to pick between two, but what happens when you have more options? Well that's the problem facing voters across the UK today, now that we all have many more than two candidates to choose from in General Elections, and AV is the only fair answer. The NO2AV campaigners think that AV is too complicated for voters like you. Well I'm sick of politicians telling us we are too stupid to understand AV. We're actually quite clever! If we can follow cricket, snooker or an EastEnders plot, I reckon we can handle voting with AV. I'm going to prove this in the final Yes to Fairer Votes Referendum Broadcast, aired tonight at 5.55 on BBC Two. No need for you to wait though - you can watch it right now, then share it with everyone you know who thinks AV is complicated. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3! I'm proud to live in a country where we are free to make our own choices; but under the current system, that freedom of choice doesn't extend to the voting booth. Under FPTP, two-thirds of our MPs that are sent to Westminster, even though the majority of their constituents voted against them. The referendum on Thursday is our chance to change all that - the winner under AV is the candidate that the majority are happy with. What could be fairer? Watch my video about how simple AV really is, and share it with everyone you know. Every vote you win could be the one that decides the future of politics in the UK. http://www.yestofairervotes. AV isn't complicated, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3. With thanks, Dan Snow |
