I notice that David Cameron, when launching his no to AV campaign, said that he opposed AV because it is unfair. Now this seems illogical. The reason for dumping first past the post (fptp) is that it is unfair. So if the prime minister opposes unfair electoral systems, does this mean he opposes BOTH AV and FPTP ? I think this is the wrong tack. AV is opposable because it may produce indecisive results of the kind we saw in May 2010, but when a supporter of fptp calls AV 'unfair', I spy pots and black kettles.
