Spoiler alert: he couldn't, it wasn't, and the Lib Dems have never recovered.

I Don't Agree to Page Terms Well democracy needs constant tinkering, AV is a sure sight better than FPP. The two-party system is mostly because of media coverage of elections, an external progagator of the spoiler affect. When the elections come up it's treated as absolute certainty that either of the two major parties will form government. Voters (the poor dearies) only see political bitching and slogans (specifically major polticians dismissing 3rd parites). They never see a comprehensive comparison of independent's/party policy. This is mostly because media conglomerates want to report the elections as digestible, dramatic and sensational to attract viewers (as well as avoid offending their advertisers). It might be best to hold media companies to a standard during something as important as their main coverage of elections. Outside of that standard they can go hog wild with sensational stories. It's not helped that companies are allowed to donate large sums of money to politicians to run election ads. Why bother investing in new parties when the control they have over the current ones are so ubiquitous?

@MustSeto

Australia's upper house uses STV, a proportional system, and it not so dominated. The issue is that AV, although somewhat better than FPTP, still enforces two-party domination and tactical voting. This is because, despite what proponents often claim, it arguably doesn't eliminate the spoiler effect, it just changes it some. Under AV, your compromise can be eliminated before its considered, and cause your least favorite to win, where if you had strategically put your compromise first, ahead of your true favorite, you could at least get your compromise. So under AV, it's still best to put your preferred front-runner first. In fact if I remember correctly, third parties in Australia aren't too happy about AV, and want to use proportional voting in both houses. But there are single-winner systems that don't have this problem, like Score Voting, Approval Voting, and arguably Condorcet Voting.

It's been 8 months but I was thinking the same. Not being aware of the exact circumstances of the country since I'm not from the UK, I can safely say that at least 3 of those 5 points are invalid or simply dumb, disregarding the fact that point 1 and 2 are essentially the same, basically 1.1 and 1.2. Point 3 - it's a valid point up to when they say it's a long, complicated process. But that's not the main argument. The main argument they use is that it will "cost the taxpayer millions". Not "millions of taxpayer pounds", or something of the sort. No, it will cost the INDIVIDUAL taxpayer millions. Sounds a lot scarier than it is. Plus, if that didn't make it invalid enough, it's a textbook slippery slope fallacy. The argument's strength is totally based on a ficticious hypothetical scenario. "x is complicated, which COULD mean y, which causes z." x is the real scenario. From that they deduce that y might happen. And then they attack y (not x) by saying that z (bad) might happen. Point 4 - no proof is given. Pretty sure that's a fallacy as well but I'm no philosopher so I don't fucking know all of them. Possibly appeal to authority or false authority. Basically it's source: "trust me bro". Point 5 - plain hypocritical. "No one wants it, it's just a convenient tool to get what's closer to what they really want" is exactly what the current form of voting represents. Wanting x but voting something closer to x because x can't possibly win is the whole point of this video. And let's not mention that the 3rd image, the one with the baby, is a textbook appeal to emotion fallacy with a little bit of hypocrisy sprinkled on top. "This baby will FUCKING DIE if you vote for this." Will the baby get those 250 million that it needs if you don't vote for it? Well, probably not, but hey, what matters is we didn't waste them on doing that particular thing. God I'm actually proper mad that people fall for these bullshit propaganda tactics.

I love how scaremonging in politics is always obviously stupid but it always works

US politics has become so completely polarized between two parties throughout my entire life (I'm 56) that I have never once voted for a candidate I fully supported. I've placed my vote with the candidate who had the most populous chance of keeping the other party out. There were definitely small third-party candidates I preferred, but in an overwhelmingly two-party system, "splitting the vote" is a constant threat in every major election. It's frankly demoralizing. And the problem with implementing "alternative voting" is that it would need to be ratified legally by either one of the two ruling US parties, neither of which have any political incentive to invite in more competition.

OTOH, voting for a candidate that surely won't win is a way to signal to whoever does win that you exist and don't actually agree with their policies, and may actually influence them to shift their policies towards those of whomever you voted for. I voted for Jo Jorgenson in 2020, not because I thought she had a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but because I liked the idea of showing Democrats and Republicans alike that real people are out there who can't stand either of them. In addition, I couldn't stomach the idea of voting for Trump or Biden as individuals irrespective of their party affiliations. Not only do I disagree with both of them on serious political issues like gun control and immigration (I'm a pro-gun, pro-immigration, pro-abortion, pro-military unicorn), they're both frankly senile and incoherent. Only ~2.5% of people voted for Jorgenson, but that's 2.5% of the vote that the two mainline parties are desperate to have for themselves.

I agree, proportional representation is better than alternative vote. But alternative vote is still better than the current system in place. The Labs and Cons fear oversight, being responsible and answering to the public (as any politician does when they're guilty of something), so the only way they can hold onto their position is by buying up the political market through the media. Fair play to them, they wouldn't be in that position if their minds didn't work like that. It's up to the public to educate themselves to see through the bullshit and find facts instead of being impressed by emotions.

Not to the point of actually changing the federal government, but enough of a shake up that the Nationalists didn't feel safe continuing with the status quo.

I not even british. Why can‘t I stop watching your videos? What kind of magic is this?

I would have voted flowers too XD XD who is that guy I recognise him from somewhere.

I love the pop music from each year lmao

Love the way "No Surprises" was sneaked in for 1997 lol (1:49)

If everyone will vote how they feel, other parties will be more powerful and might even win.

SINGLE TRANSFERABLE VOTE>>>

This video is ageing like a fine wine.

Why am I watching super simple explanations of topics I already know.

I thought it was obvious, the voice, skin colour, hair colour the only thing different is the hair and that was probably done on purpose

I have been using the ranking options system as a way to choose pizza toppings preference amongst groups of friends, and it has been considerably advantageous and quicker.

I really like the thought of 'its a knockout!'. Imagine keir starmer and rishi wrestle for prime minister. Although, i think boris would do very well cause he had tackled a kid once in his premiership. After some thought, i think they're just gonna look like they're fighting, but the winner's gonna be decided by a shady guy.

Voters give their opinion based on shirt they wearing.

I personally would love to vote in a tombola system

Here in Australia, we have the Alternative voting system, otherwise known as ‘Preferential Voting’. Otherwise, it’s quite similar to the British system. You vote for your local representative who most likely is part of one of the major parties and, unfortunately, it also means that two parties have risen to the top.

2:16 Rifle-led coercion is surely the best alternative, lol.

Long live STV!

I wish our country’s leaders where determined by tombola.

Awesome polling paper!

As spaniard... Why I am watching this video??? I don’t know, but I LOVE IT !!

More fodder to shit on the natural foe of your people?

Australia has 1) Compulsory voting 2) Full preferential voting So everybody has to vote (or get slapped with a fine), and has to number every candidate in order of preference. They knock off candidates until two are left, which one will have more votes. It also means extremely safe seats will likely never change...

KZread is recommending me this! Before a GE2019 😂 wow! What a great algorithm

I like this stuff.

In LoUiSiAna (my home state) whenever there are more than 2 candidates for a particular office there will always be a Runoff Election between the two highest vote earners IF no one receives at least 51% of the votes cast.

Lmao imagine not having a preferential vote this comment was brought to you by the australia gang

Interesting this was recommended to me today

i can't imagine voting in a system without preferential voting... it makes our elections here in Australia so much more representative

This series is bloody genius
