    Really? I thought the dog had some grandiose name?

    I must be getting mixed up with some other pretentious and convoluted ****ty detective based series.

    Never The Twain perhaps?

    Never saw that, but seem to remember Columbo explaining he’d never given it a name and just calls it dog. Could be wrong but fairly sure I’m not.

    why do I not remember this vote? and why on earth would the public vote for a less fair system?

    Alternative vote system rejected
    The UK held a national referendum on reform of the voting system in 2011 after the 2010 election delivered a hung parliament and the Conservatives entered a formal coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

    The proposal to replace the current first-past-the post system with an “Alternative Vote”, which advocates said would make results more proportional to the national share of votes cast, was rejected by the public, by 68% to 32%.

    PR they only win if they agree to team with LD and Greens which I guess would be the case. The majority would be tiny so hard to get anything agreed.

    I didn't vote Yes for this as it's not PR at all: just a method to get to the same situation we already have but with the smaller parties getting eliminated and their votes going to the big two:

    Proposed AV system
    Under the alternative vote system proposed in the referendum, voters would still be electing just one candidate associated with one geographic constituency. Instead of simply voting for one candidate on the ballot paper (with an "X"), the voter would instead be asked to rank one or more of the candidates in order of preference. If after first preferences have been counted, no one candidate has a majority of the votes cast, then the bottom candidate will be eliminated and votes for that candidate are transferred to each voter's next available preference. The process continues repeatedly until one candidate reaches a majority and wins.[32][200] The system proposed was a form of "optional preferential voting", in that voters would not be obliged to rank every candidate in order of preference in order to cast a valid vote.

    Branding working class British people as "far right Nazis" will be about as effective as the Kamala Dems.
