Probably Bindun but had to get it out of my head

The local council guy dropped some propaganda through the letterbox this morning.
With slightly different photos their argument is a bit less convincing...

I had to hear about the UK voting system when I took some english ages ago

gave me a headache. Still no idea how it works. First past the post seems like a sneaky way of getting rid of those pesky actual votes (while maintaining a government that isn't stuck like the US one once every couple of years).

History? Pah

Quite a staggeringly poor knowledge of history there: the Nazis came first in 1933 but still had to form a coalition government. There was no Italian election in 1922 - Mussolini seized power in a coup. There was no Russian elections either - only appointments made by the Communist party and Stalin didn't have control until 1927.

I knew I should have stayed awake in those history lessons.

In my defence I claim artistic license
(It sounds much better than ignorance)

Oh, and the queen of England is still Enid Blyton - right?

Well actually the Weimar Republic used PR voting and Mussolini, I believe, was appointed Prime Minister by the King of Italy following the March on Rome, although I think he won a seat in the parliament.

But I have to admit the No to AV campaign noticeably likes the sports analogies.
