Re: [LUG] If you don't Vote, you can't whinge..

 

I will be voting No to AV, our existing system historically has been
fine what has let it down is the sheep like element in the voters who
can only think to vote Lib. Lab or Con.  AV is more expensive, is more
complicated, so it will be more vulnerable to fraudulence which is
already showing increased risks with more postal voting options, maybe
online too in the future?
Smeatharpe & Upottery where I will vote have not been issued ballot
papers incidentally!!
