Should we have a referendum on proportional representation?

[Drewster]

Vote Options
* Yes, majority vote wins
* No, voting on voting is dangerously recursive
* I'm not voting because my minority vote won't count
* Why isn't this poll multiple choice?
* AndyW is a count

Well done TW - Nice touch of intelligent humour while making a serious point!

Are you saying we should have a vote on having a referendum in the first place?

AtW - I see what you've done there....................... the usual!!

Joe Public can barely be trusted to pick a party to vote for based on anything more substantial than the party leaders' ability to be photogenic. The whole reason we have an elected government is so people don't have to pretend to be able to make an informed choice on such matters.

Or to move away from reasonable arguments to something people like AtW and DP might understand: do you really want people who voted Labour in for 3 successive terms to be directly involved in how the country is run?

So the options on the ballot paper would be
- Yes
- No
- Andyw
and you get to select a second choice too?

How do you set up a second transferable vote in CUK polls?

Hmm. We should have a vote on what the voting options should be

Do you think it should be enacted without a vote?

I think UK should move towards Switzerland model - direct democracy with regular votes on all sort of things.

Also I like Swiss model of gun ownership.

That would be retarded, innit?

Yep, a vote on whether to hold a referendum on proportional representation.

or are some things (like going to war and joining the Euro) too important to vote on?
