On 5th May you have a choice. You can keep the discredited First Past the Post system to elect our MPs, or you can choose a new and fairer system - Alternative Vote (AV). Back the campaign for change at www.YesToFairerVotes.org
AV is a small change that makes a big difference.
MPs working harder to earn - and keep - our supportYour next MP would have to aim to get more than 50% of the vote to be sure of winning. At present they can be handed power with just one vote in three. They'll need to work harder to win - and keep - your support.
A bigger say on who your local MP isRanking candidates gives you more say - in who comes first and who comes last. If your favourite doesn't win, you can still have a say. It's as easy as 1,2,3…
Tackling the 'jobs for life' cultureToo many MPs have their 'safe seats' for life. Force complacent politicians to sit up and listen, and reach out to the communities they seek to represent.
AV keeps what works with our current system, and eliminates many of its weaknesses. It's a long overdue upgrade to make a 19th century system fit for the politics of the 21st century.
Our parliament will better represent our communities. MPs will have to have a better view of what your community thinks - and that's because they will have to listen harder to your views.
It's simple. If someone wants to represent your community they need the votes of the majority of the community. That's what making every vote count really means.
