I think everyone should read this - Johann Hari: If you get the X Factor you'll get AV - Johann Hari, Commentators - The Independent If you believe some of the appalling anti-AV propaganda that's going around (ie, "the BNP will get more seats!!", etc) then you need to get your head examined. EDIT - Just to say that the concept of AV is astoundingly simple & all you need to do is be able to write 1, 2 and 3. You can manage that, can't you?
