Electoral Reform Addendum

The BBC has published a page on the electoral reforms that I was discussing yesterday. They explain the systems quite well but please please don’t take any notice of the figures they give for the number of seats in the election under the different systems. This is only guesswork as I tried to explain because we have no way of knowing who would choose what second preference or how having a second preference would change tactical- or non-voting.

It’s just typical of recent BBC trends… unattributed articles with not even a mention of assumptions that are made in them.

At least I tried to explain what changes might happen and why!
