Re: It's a fait accompli situation.
Surely the Alternative Vote system would at least have been a step in the right direction, and could have been changed to a better system at some later point?
FPTP is just so unrepresentative for, usually, the majority of voters in a constituency. At least with AV you ensure that you get some say in electing one of your gradually less preferred candidates, rather than a single all or nothing choice. I don't doubt that it's possible to end up with a bizarre result, but surely it must be quite rare, and very unlikely to happen in more than a handful of constituencies?
