A referendum was hold in the United Kingdom in order to change the way members of the parliament are elected. A "NO campaign" was held on May 5 on the voting system came with a strong overall lead of 56 to 29 percent unlike in January where the "yes" campaign led by 36 to 30 percent. The chairman Andrew Hawkins also stated that "people who initially answered ‘don’t know’ have moved towards ‘no’ because “there is still a huge amount of ignorance about the AV, huge gaps” he said, adding that the people do not see the referendum as a priority for the nation. The Alternative Voting (AV) electoral system gives voters a chance to rate candidates in order of preference.
I believe that this referendum is a very big deal in the United Kingdom because they do not persuade or give strong arguments in order to persuade the people whether or not does the current system need change? And why the AV is is the right thing to adopt. If I was a voter, I would vote for no. After reading this article I would still have voted no and the only thing that would changed my mind has to be strong argument from the opposition that is trying to change the system.
