On 5May 2011 electors in Britain voted in a referendum on changing the system for electing Members of Parliament from first-past-the-post (FPTP, as single-member plurality is called in the UK) to the alternative vote1 (AV – also known as “STV for single-member constituencies” and, in the US, instant run-off voting). On a 42% turnout, 32% voted in favour of change while 68% voted to retain FPTP. This paper9 is not concerned with the referendum campaigns or the outcome, but whether AV was the right option for change to offer.
