dot it's likely that election is about to begin we've used the same electoral system
for centuries his school first passed the post
and it's simple
whoever gets the most votes in a constituency wins
uh... profile paul hundred doctor the
our election unconvincing comes from first class to post the cross in the ballot box
the famous and evergreen swing on the csa
one of the conditions for the victims of getting into coalition was a referendum on our voting
system
about the fact that it doesn't
maturity last fall
on the fifth of may and it's going to be another elections special broadcast from this very
studio
and the first national referendum for nearly forty years we're going to be off whether
or not we want to jump first passed the post in favor of a new system called the alternative
but or avery
not paid the works like this
rumbling vote for one candidate you lift the candidates in order of preference the vote
of encountered
and if no one gets more than fifty percent of the poll
than the person with the fewest number of votes is eliminated and that second preference
about all reallocate it to other candidates
and all the votes are counted again
what they've read darrow's isn't shows that your unpaid is elected with more than fifty
percent of the votes
but is it that long
the substance of the referendum debate
has been about whether haiti's actually a better system than first class proposed or
not dividends
t_v_ doesn't solve the problem the lived in his car
which is the bigger shitload of oats the not many seeds
was significantly back annals of the vote isn't report representation but it is much
better instituted by constituency
what to do is to get through the wasted vote problem difficulties in this country star
we call ourselves democracy two-thirds of people voted against the n_ p_ they've got
non-stop uh... and it also means that warning every eighty only one every eighty votes really
count for the last election in other words of hope that it made a difference in states
that could potentially have changed hands but the alt phone system does is that it means
that some people who vote for friends parties all
loony party that wants to review any party that have a right to use that boats again
and again and again and that is wrong because it means that people who vote for extremists
and crazies at have more votes than those who oppose the mainstream parties
there's an all for a stake in this referendum for the political parties and their leaders
for yourself in the trade issues as he's about to face the media
the morning after the referendum
he doesn't like pay-t_v_ in fact he called it the grubby compromise
but for many in his party the justification for doing into television was a referendum
on federal troops
levels of forty one a referendum on electoral reform
it isn't even the system they want and they lose its
this will be absolved display for them but it would take and used to recover from it
their whole strategy for decades has been built on
election reform if they lose it it means no less reform for many many years
so you cannot quantified the catastrophe that would be
and
the prime minister is also give you some difficulty officially he's supporting the men campaign
has historically his party likes first class proposed but cameron has been leading power
with the help of his friend nick clegg
and the libyans was supporting anything
i think it's become toxic
i think it is a big problem for the connection
and then i think it's a critical for camera because he doesn't want to destabilize the
connection he doesn't want to have taken be doesn't want the statements that they stay
bless it must be pleased the government
c_-one c_-two do
people in the conservative party will be furious if anything is introduced because they have
certain against
in the short term it will cause they become a lot of trouble with conservative activists
who will just like it but in the media time it makes david cameron strategy that's having
a less dislikes conservative
the only bob dole root for the conservative party
the oldest to be a period in which
the policy may not recognize that and that'll be very hard to david cameron but strategically
there are some of those issues to and desperate defense
there is another try
olen dark forty-something man in all this
admitted and favors gravy
walter sway you put the labor party
don't
but it's his opponents who have managed to win or lose from this result
if the public can work out what they're supposed to be doing in the polling booths of person
on the fifth of may then we will get a result
yes to a dv means a happy and reinvigorated nick clegg
appearing on your t_v_ screens
while camera and takes the flak from his party
if it's a no two eighty
that expect clinton of on had debates
about the future of the coalition
myself in the best able to stay ahead lessons that
