THREE REASONS TO VOTE NO IN
THE WORDS OF NO TO AV…
· AV makes elections unfair. At the moment we all have one vote and the person who gets the most votes wins. Under AV, supporters of fringe parties can have their vote counted several times and the candidate who comes third can steal the election.
· AV is a politicians’ fix leading to more hung parliaments and more broken promises, like the Lib Dem tuition fees U-turn. Instead of the voters choosing the government, the politicians will decide who governs in shady backroom deals. Under AV, the only vote that really counts is Nick Clegg’s.
· AV is complicated and expensive requiring councils to dump our traditional ballot boxes in favour of costly electronic voting machines. That is why it’s used by just three countries in the world - Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea. And Australia has compulsory voting to make sure people turn up.
