In a months time we go to the polls to decide the make up our Scottish Parliament and to decide on a new system of Voting in UK elections.
Im personally for AV. Its a step forward in democracy, but in keeping with Democracy, if the people of Scotland say no to AV for the UK elections, should that not mean that the Scottish Elections should then be decided by First Past the Post (FPTP)?
Furthermore, If a constituancy decides that it wants AV, is it not in keeping with Democracy, that the system for that Constituancy should be AV, even though that the other regions have voted to keep FPTP?
In a side Issue, why in this day and age, when I can sit on the sofa and ask these questions to the world, I cant sit on my seatee, and cast my vote?
Should it be a legal requirement that you Vote? I think so.
