Briefly about politics

I don't take to real politics with much interest, but to my relief the few people who bothered to go and vote in the AV vote, the majority said a resounding NO. Good people!

The proportionate voting system in Finland has driven me to despair forever and a day. I have already made the decision not to vote anymore in any other elections than presidential ones, and that is because the one vote that I have goes directly to who it is given to.

I think Richard Littlejohn put it quite nicely in his column on April 26th:

"T.H.A.V.

I think I may be coming round to the argument in favour of Alternative Votes.

I've worked out that under AV, even if Spurs finish fifth this season and because most people hate Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea we could still qualify for the Champions League as everyone's second favourite team."

And that is all I have to say about that.
