I think it should be changed, but not to AV
I suggest you start lobbying then.
I voted yes, though I don't think AV is that much of an improvement. I don't really see why coalition governments, compromises and actually talking stuff over is such a bad thing. It's a lot closer to what I would like from government that simple "One Party Rules".
I kind of think it /should/ be difficult to govern and stuff /should/ take a while to happen. The problem (as I see it) is that government is so directly ingratiated with so many aspects of running the country that this means stuff doesn't get done. If government were to extricate itself slightly from the actual day to day running then things could tick over whilst parliament was actually sorting out the higher level, important stuff.
Then again, that kind of thing is never really going to happen I suppose.
It's funny really, I think that if I were American I would kind of have to be Republican (in the purest sense of the term) as I would be for more local government. In fact, I really think Scotland etc. /should/ be fully devolved, though not necessarily independent.
I fucken hate politics sometimes
