Because democracy needs an informed electorate

STV - how it could work in Britain

Just briefly, in the comments tot he Tactical post, the topic has drifted to how preferential systems, especially STV are better and negate the need for tactical votes. I thought I’d bring the discussion to the top again. Dave asks:

From the limited amount I know of STV it sounds really good.

I know its probably been writen else where, but could you briefly say roughly how you think STV would work in the UK?

I assume you would need much bigger constituencies? or would you suggest similar size with a lot more MP’s?

If the constituencies were too big then the politics wouldn’t seem as local surely?

Right, without sourcing too much, you’re looking at
