EU referendum 70 % required to win Alternative vote 118 % required to win Looks like we ' re stuck with FPTP forever . I don ' t see why people that don ' t care matter , here ' s an analogy . Let ' s say you and 9 friends plan on going out for a pizza but 5 had pizza last night so really don ' t want it again , they all vote Indian instead . The other 5 either don ' t care , like both choices or don ' t feel informed enough about the restaurants to choose , so they don ' t vote . Under this voting system you still end up getting pizza even though it isn ' t what anyone is advocating . <| sep |> Wow , are you a mind reader by any chance ? That ' s what I was about to type in but you won , an Upvote for you . <| sep |> Animals aren ' t stressed by lack of freedom . Lol okay I implore you to actually do some research on animals in captivity . This was an extremely poor point .
