Aviation weather for Surat airport (India) is “METAR VASU 170300Z 25009KT 4000 BR SCT020 SCT025 BKN080 28/25 Q1006 NOSIG” : See what it means on https://www.bigorre.org/aero/meteo/vasu/en #suratairport #airport #india #vasu #stv #metar #aviation #aviationweather #avgeek vl

Got all the jobs done that I planned today - except I didn't make the phone calls. But I did assemble a cheap mini-greenhouse that arrived much more quickly than expected.
Too knackered after that (backache from bending over it) to make the calls, so I had the planned nap!
Now - as planned - I'm in front of the TV watching episode 5 of Hidden on the STV player(25% in Welsh but excellent subtitles)

#Today #STV

Yes, @marjolica, there is a possibility of wasted transfers. As you note, full #STV eliminates wasted transfers

In this case, a wasted transfer was a hazard only for low-info voters . It was clear from early on that this would be a two-horse race between Labour and ReformUK, but low-info voters weren't to know that their realistic transfer options wee limited. That's a design flaw in SV, and it's fixable only by full STV.

@strypey and in FPTP electorates, once a Party is in, adopting voting systems which minimise the waste of votes drops in priority.

"No UK prime minister has served a full term since David Cameron", writes #BenQuinn in #TheGuardian https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/22/keir-starmer-quits-prime-minister-what-will-happen-next-uk-politics-explained

Quinn's article is not analysis, but it's a valuable survey.

My takeaway is how the case for #FPTP voting has collapsed. It used to be a stabiliser: heavily-rewarded winners got a safe majority to govern.

But that no longer works. Big majority govts now implode rapidly and spectacularly.

Time for #STV, to create a representative parliament.

@etchedpixels That knowing people thing is similar to Ireland, which is a similar size. It applies at all levels: national, local and European.

I am delighted to hear that Wales is looking at #STV. Is it concentrated in particular demographics? Do you have any pointers to discussion of it?

@ChrisMayLA6

@brunoparga The fundamental distinction between #STV and list systems is that STV is focused on individuals, whereas list systems are focused on parties. Bolting complexity onto lists doesn't alter that distinction.

STV allows voters to rank candidates by whatever basis they choose. That may be age, experience, locality, qualification, personality type, or party, or some combination threreof. But lists make party the primary issue.

@ChrisMayLA6

Oioioi, @Mickft. Go easy, Mick.

Nothing I wrote is "untrue", let alone "simply untrue".

I didn't say #LibDem policy had changed. I said they seemed uninterested in STV. I stand by that. Big difference between manifesto mention and campaign headline.

In the 1980s theAlliance / #LibDems campaigned heavily on electoral reform. They had #JohnCleese do a good video on #STV: https://youtu.be/0qWDPauV_p4.

Nothing like that in the 2020s. Little mention since the #FibDem #AV defeat in 2011.

@ChrisMayLA6

@ChrisMayLA6 I am now worried that as the UK starts to move beyond #FPTP for Westminster elections, it won't unpack the term #PR.

Pure #dHondt or #AMS are the likely winners, although #AndyBurnham is muddying the waters by mendaciously labelling #AV as #PR. It isn't.

There is a serious risk that as political parties decline, the UK will adopt an electoral system which hands more power to the dying parties. Who will champion #STV?

@ChrisMayLA6 #LibDems were in coslition with Scittish Labour 1999–2007, and got #STV for Scittish local elections.

But LibDems were later almost wiped out in Wales. So when #PlaidCyrmu and #WelshLabour agreed to abandon #AMS for the #Senedd, there was no strong LibDem voice for STV. The Senedd is now #dHondt only.

2024 showed how #FPTP is clearly broken in Westminster elections. Labour's ⅔ of seats on ⅓ of votes was so obscene that there should have been huge, destructive riots.

>>

@ChrisMayLA6 #STV was used for the Commons university constituencies, from 1918 to 1950. The last STV election to the Commons was the Combined Scottish Universities by-election in November 1946.

For decades thereafter, the Liberal Party and it's successors the #LibDems championed STV. But their enthusiasm lapsed after the disastrous #AV referendum in 2011. Now in a fragmented landscape, LibDems are slight beneficiaries of #FPTP, and seem uninterested in electoral reform.

>>

@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly, political debate in Britain is stuck on the broad category of #ProportionalRepresentation (PR). This mostly means #dHondt or the #AdditionalMemberSystem (#AMS).

#SingleTransferableVote (STV) is used in Scottish local elections, and in Northern Ireland. #STV is vastly better PR, 'cos it facilitates new entrants, removes tactical voting, and disempowers parties. Ideal for our times, and invented by a Brit: Thomas Hare.

And STV has been used for the House of Commons.

https://theconversation.com/the-scottish-electoral-system-has-delivered-its-most-disproportional-result-yet-284007. It's clear the #AMS system is a very imperfect system of #proportional #representation - #PR - producing #disproportional #results, as John Curtice notes, @ScottishGreens. #STV in multi-member constituencies, as used for the #Northern #Ireland #Assembly #elections, & for the Dáil Éireann in the #Irish #Republic, is preferable, & is certainly preferable to the #closed #Party #list system in multi-member constituencies now in use for the #Welsh #Senedd.

@Pamela1960 This is one of the things I really like about #STV elections. No candidate stands a chance without a very strong local connection.

@ChrisMayLA6

This week I have learned that Malta and Ireland are both using the Single Transferable Vote method in national elections. I knew that e.g. Northern Ireland are doing it, but I was only aware of Australia doing it at the sovereign level.

@NicelyManifest I am annoyed with the voting system.

D'Hondt is better in many ways than #FPTP, but it gives far too much power to parties and it creates #WastedVotes. This year, the wasted votes have been for Labour and the Greens, handing ~4 seats to #ReformUK.

Much better to use #STV, as in Ireland, in Northern Ireland, and in Scottish local elections. There are no wasted votes in STV.

But I like the result. #PlaidCymru will be fresh, and I like minority governments. It keeps them honest.
