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?
