STV and the minor parties
The Centre for Scottish Public Policy is publishing a report by John Curtice on the likely impact of an STV (single transferable vote) system for Holyrood elections, on the Greens, SSP and independents. Apparently STV will not unduly disadvantage them, so we may hope that this is another obstacle out of the way of reform.
Scotland does need one, fair, clearly understood, electoral system to be used at all levels. What alternative is there to STV? The only question at issue is the size of multi-member constituencies.
