Why not allow prisoners a vote?

Yes, that is PR, but that wasn't what was being described.

No, European elections were party list PR. You voted for a party, not a candidate.

FPTP isn't unequivocal it always leaves me wondering how people would have voted if there was no need to vote tactically. It also pisses me off that a party will claim to have a clear mandate, when more than half the country voted for a different party, and many of the votes they did get were...

The Labour Party likes it enough to elect their leader that way. You don't need a PhD, you need to be able to count, and know who you would prefer if your first, second or even 3rd choice can't win. If you don't want to contemplate who else might be alright if your first choice isn't going to...

It's a real back to front comb over

If you took part in electing the leader of the Labour Party, you used AV. The Tories do similar, eliminate those with too few votes, and vote again, until you have someone with more than 50% of the vote, or you get down to a two horse race. AV is just stating who else would you choose if your...

Yeah you've got it wrong, and accept that you don't want to consider an alternative, it just surprises me.

It isn't lying, it's keeping their mouths shut about what they really think and getting elected on a Party Manifesto that is much more centrist than they are. If a party existed that was closer to their view, and had a chance of winning a seat, there would be no need to hide in the Tory or...

f*** PR, I understand and agree to an extent with your issues with PR. Its the love for FPTP I dont get. I get that it works for you in your constituency because Labour are your party, but it isn't like that everywhere. Let's say its close between all 3 major parties, you want Labour, but if it...

Alternative vote or Supplementary Vote would allow you to vote for your independent candidate, but also for another if your first choice is not popular enough in the rest of the constituency.

Labour don't want to lose FPTP, half the votes they receive this election will be tactical, and due to FPTP. I probably would prefer FPTP to PR, in returning an MP for each constituency, but I hate having to guess which way to cast my vote to not get a Tory, and would like to be able to select...

They are already in there, hiding in the ranks of the Tory and Labour parties. Galloway and Farage have sympathisers within those parties, I would rather know who the ****s are, before they get elected into Parliament on a moderate manifesto.

When most of the well known politicians, Tory and Labour, are advocating FPTP, it sways opinion. The press also made the AV system seem complex, it was killed off by vested interest, in my opinion.

I think a lot of people are in the wrong party for their views, but by being in Labour or Conservative parties they give themselves a greater chance of being elected.

As you say, Player evaluations are likely to change,maybe not so much due to the change of coach, but due to the gains in experience. Baleba and Ferguson at the bottom of your pile have great potential. Apart from inexperience, the fact that many of the players were either playing with injury...

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Boz and Jakirovic could not join Albion this window, as they are not old enough to make an international transfer. Arnu could only sign a pre contract in January for next summer window, turns 18 March next year. Lorran could sign after 4th July when he turns 18.

They speak English in Gambia.

He will be free in 12 months, don't think he would get much time on the pitch with us. I have only seen clips of him, but I don't think we will get offers much over that.
