Calling All UK People

For goodness sake - don't forget to vote!

With the undoubtably incredibly low turnout, and the EU elections being largely Proportional Representation, your vote can count - get out there today and stand up for something you believe in!

Of course it's done wrong.

Personally I'm in favour of the scottish election version, with the caveat that I think that all of Scotland should be one big area, rather than dividing it into lots of litle ones.

But every version of PR has some drawbacks (I don't even know which version the EU elections use).

List. What does the scottish one use - I can't remember - is it alternative vote?

[missedith01.livejournal.com]

The Scottish Parliament uses two votes, one for a candidate and one for a party. So by the time it all comes out in the wash you have constituency MSPs and regional MSPs.

Is that the same as alternative vote?

That's alternative vote, yes - AMS or Additional Member System.
