Abstract
Michael Pinto-Duschinsky argues that proposed changes to the first-past-the-post system run counter to the spirit of British democracy, while Iain McLean and Guy Lodge believe that AV will make MPs more accountable. The coalition government is holding a referendum in May on whether to change the system for electing MPs from first-past-the-post to the Alternative Vote. Michael Pinto-Duschinsky argues that the proposed changes to the electoral system run counter to the spirit of British democracy and should be resisted. The Alternative Vote will promote voter choice and make MPs more accountable to their constituents, say Iain McLean and Guy Lodge. In a world defined by declining tribalism this change to the electoral system should be supported.
