Tomorrow is an important day in the democracy of our nation.
Every elector will have the opportunity to decide whether to keep the current First Past the Post system of voting, or replace it with the Alternative Vote system.
I have already voted to retain the current system. First Past the Post normally results in strong Government, which has the power to make sweeping reform and leave an indelible mark on the population. Contrast that with the weakened Government we currently have, which is bound into Liberal left compromise thanks to the hapless Coalition agreement.
As it stands at the moment the candidate that receives the most votes wins. What could be fairer than that? First Past the Post has served this nation well for the last century, producing strong Governments who were actually able to govern.
If it ain't broken then don't fix it.
Whichever way you intend to vote please do make the effort to make your voice heard.
