On May 5th voters in Britain can decide whether UK elections are run on the 'First Past the Post' system or the 'Alternative Vote' system.

This quick, simple explainer shows you how each system works...and how neither of them solve the biggest problem in British democracy.

This explainer was produced independently of any political or campaign group, and of any media house. You can read a full list of sources here (pdf): http://bit.ly/​i2Jela

  • This video has deliberately attempted, and succeeds in clouding the issue. The effect is to simply make you want to not care. FPTP is the most evil. But who stops just because they face a dilemma? It is't a case of sophie's choice. The alternative to single member electorates is a regional multi member district. Or, one day, an Internet voting system that reads your mind to save you having to actually think! Why not?
