Incidentally, Skepticlawyer appears less than impressed with some of the crap being spread by the No To AV campaign about the preferential voting systems used here in Oz.*
I’ve learned since the campaign started that Australia uses complex electronic voting machines. The person who runs third in a given constituency also routinely wins the seat, as well. Oh, and we also want to adopt First Past the Post, too, in a perverse bit of ‘the grass is always greener’ copy-cattery.Which is, as she points out, bullshit. Do go and read the rest.
Come to think of it Reform Cat would be even better, but I'm not sure a 350 foot tall ginger tom that shoots lasers from its eyes needs a more sympathetic voting system.
* I've since seen it at Fausty's as well, though of course without the commentary on the misrepresentation of the Aussie voting system.
