And both of those points are wrong.
Everyone gets the same number of votes under AV, and it won't cost £250 million.

Also it's quite easy to spot the motivation
Parties who are anti: think they'll do worse under the system
Parties who are pro: think they'll do better under the system

The rest is bollocks.

How much will it cost? Give me the top and bottom estimate (respected estimate, not Monty's opinion based on napkin maths in the pub).
I guess the One Vote One Person thing is wrong, I mean, the point of their arguement there... 'cus it's still everyone getting the same. It's like instead of everyone getting a matleeser to give to the girl they like, they get a packet and can hedge their bets.

You'd totally get at _least_ 35% of them, and given that I'd hedge my bets between at least one that has a good chance, one that I've got no chance and one that I might have a chance with but looks doubtful...
... so that's quite a compliment.

No one knows, plus it doesn't matter
democracy is expensive but some things are worth paying for.

Like prostitutes. The cheap ones are a false economy, I've found.

My mate Yeti was once offered a blowjob off a crack whore in Shoreditch... for £6.

I've never worked out why men get paid more to be in porn than women.

Do they really?
Mind you, it's probably because it's a bit more specialised then for teh women. Anyone can get their vadge pounded, but only some men have "what it takes"

A friend of mine was telling me he was offered one by a crack whore in Brixton for a similar price
Apparently she was quite persistent, until he explained to her that he'd only just moved into the area, didn't even have £6 on him and was looking to get something to eat with the £2.75 he had left and nothing personal, love, but he wasn't interested.

Her reply?
"I'll give you one for £2.75."

It will cost the same as any other election
you have to either pay people to count the votes, or you invest in electronic vote counting machines. But you will need the same whichever system you use.

The main point is that cost should not be a factor when considering the most democratic method of electing politicians.

Can't we rent the machines from other countries that have electronic voting? I mean, it's not like they're using them at the time.
Yeh', I agree. Like for example, I'm supposed to get a double-dose of some stuff called Inflixnab/Remicade, been waiting for it for 3 months now, and because of finances, they haven't said yes or no yet. But I can only have the stuff every 2 months, and if I don't get my next dose next week, I risk becoming imume and the stuff not working at all ever again. I was waiting 'till they tell me yes/no, but if I wait longer than next week then the risk is so high, that we're just going to go with a normal dose and next time (in 2 months) I'll hopefully have a dessision.

But yeah', money shouldn't affect these things.

It's more like everyone gets a malteser to give to the girl they like,
but if she doesn't put out they can take it back and give it to the next one down the list, until either they finally get one who will put out or the girls get too ugly for them to bother.
