In reply to David Green (LT, May 5), AV presupposes that choices 2, 3, 4, 5 are all acceptable to me. Not so.
If I vote for a candidate, he or she is the one I wish to represent me in Parliament.
None of the others may well be suitable.
AV is what it always has been – a device for the Liberal Party to get seats by the back door.
If they cannot win in a fair fight, they want the rules changed.
That, Mr Green, is not democracy, it is cheating.
D Pratt, Accrington.
