On the Referendum
So AV will lead to babies dying due to lack of NHS resources. Except No2AV is largely funded by Tories, who are the ones responsible for cutting the NHS.
AV will cost £250,000,000. Except that number was pulled out of thin air- the only money we're definitely spending is the cost of the referendum we're having today (£82 million, roughly).
AV isn't the system we need. Except if there's a No vote today, we won't get another chance to get that 'needed' system.
AV means people get more than one vote. Except they don't, it only means that they get a vote rather than having their vote discarded.
AV means we'll get more hung Parliaments. Except in the last 100 years, we've had 5 of those, while Australia's had 3.
AV will let the extremists in. Except the BNP is campaigning hard for a No vote, because they know it will destroy any chance they have of getting a seat.
AV is horrendously complicated. Except most of us are in fact able to count and rank the things we like in order, thankyou very much.
FPTP is traditional and ~British~. So was restricting the vote to male members of the aristocracy, once.
...remind me again why I shouldn't vote Yes?
