"The No campaign is particularly disingenuous. They claim that AV would cost a quarter of a billion pounds because of the cost of voting machines, when all you need is a pencil and paper. They claim that it is terribly complicated, when you only need to know how to count. They claim that it will favour BNP extremists, when it will actually favour centrist candidates. They claim that it is somehow anti-British, although apparently not when it elects British-to-the-bootstraps Mayor Boris Johnson. They claim that it is a Ruritanian system, when it has been used for almost a century in Australia, which not only shares Britain’s Westminster heritage, but is one of the oldest and best entrenched democracies in the world – older, dare we recall, than Britain itself. To cap it all off, they centre their whole campaign around the absurd claim that AV gives some people more than one vote, when in fact it simply enables all voters to provide more information about how they want their vote to be cast." - Seb Schmoller from Bookmarklet
