Brown's AV Fiddle: Now We Know

on Iain Dale's Diary from 5 weeks ago

Newmania,

I'm sure Mugabe would support PR if he thought it would help him, but back in the real world it doesn't so he doesn't.

Meanwhile, David Cameron supports FPTP because - wait for it - he perceives it benefits him. After all, AV worked fine for him in his campaign to get elected as leader of the Conservatives (which is why you don't have David Davis in charge).

As the article above shows, the Tory objection seems to be rooted in the fact that it can be less proportional than FPTP; yet they oppose proportionality in electoral systems.

The naked opportunism is astounding.
