My friend's reading politics and has prepared this survey. He needs as many people as possible to fill it in so if you have one minute of your time and would be prepared to submit an anonymous survey, couldja?
It's here:

Thanks very much!
Lowering the averages since 2009

I was going to do it, but was disappointed that there didn't seem to be any questions that used AV.

Done. I think the AV notion ought to be expanded to other forms of life, like the Olympics. So at the final medal table we might get:
USA 45 Gold, 66 Silver, 54 Bronze
UK 0 Gold, 15 Silver, 33 Bronze.
We could then say, "Hey, we came second in 15 events yet haven't got a single Gold. That's not fair" And we are then given 4 Gold medals from the USA.

Is it ok that I've done the survey even though I'm from Ireland? We have proportional representation here and it works just as well as any other system except for the fact politicians still get in.

No. The whole thing has to be trashed now. I hope you're happy.
