The No campaign has been dishonest.

Right from the very beginning the no campaign has tried to create fear uncertainty and disorder by lying about AV system claiming it is complicated and expensive AV is very simple. If you are literate then you can understand how AV works. They claim it would be expensive and pulled random numbers out of the air yet there is no reason to spend any more money on administering AV. When the politicians are lying through their teeth and creat personal attacks on Nick Clegg to try and get you to vote no then there is something wrong with the no vote.

First past the post produces hung parliaments

First past the post produces hung parliaments. Since Australia introduced AV they have had less hung parliaments than we have had with FPTP.

First past the post is a loser’s charter.

Under FPTP the most popular candidate is not necessarily the one who wins. In Canada’s recent general election 60% of the voters voted against the winning party. The party that should have lost because it couldn’t get a substantive majority in fact won.

First past the post is a politician’s fix

A great many political careerists want you to vote no. They want you to vote no because under AV they would have to appeal to the majority not pander to the biggest special interests group like they do under FPTP. Under FPTP you don’t even have to win a substantive majority to be the winner. We used to use a AV system but it was replaced by with FPTP by politicians for politicians. AV breaks the cycle of voting for two monolithic parties and allows different ideas to have a chance rather than the same old situation off I like C’s ideas but I won’t vote for them because they can’t win so I will vote for A because I hate B. Even though what A proposes is the same as B.
