About which voting system to use or which party to vote for?
I'm not sure I know enough to pick a *right* voting system. If I had the choice I think I would prefer something more like highest remainder, but I'm not certain. I would definitely choose something more STV-ish than the current system if I could, but I don't know exactly what. I guess it would be worth having a single right answer people in favour of reform could all push behind, but it feels like a mess having to choose when most things would be an improvement over the status quo (although the voting reform referendum showed how that goes wrong).
I decided with all of the pros and cons, both in terms of how much I liked them and tactically, green beat out lib dem just slightly, but I wasn't very sure. I think it probably didn't make that much difference. I forgot TIG/CUK were standing, but I don't think that would have been any better.
