In most modern societies, an electoral process is considered an important symbol of democracy that represents the concept of freedom of choice and fairness. The UK coalition government now faces the need to reform the process by choosing between the first past the post system and the alternative system. As the final decision may affect the entire society, it is necessary to carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both systems. FPTP allows a candidate to win by a majority of votes. It is a simple system that requires relatively simplified procedures. Additionally, it generally provides a stable and strong one-party government. Furthermore, the elected party usually governs effectively and delivers on manifesto promises. Another advantage is a well-organized constituency link between MPs and their constituents. They can easily contact their MP for support (Coxall et al. 2003, Jones and Norton 2010). Finally, FPTP attempts to limit extremist parties such as fascist, racist and other “hateful” parties, for example the British National Party. However, it has several disadvantages to consider. The most significant weakness and criticism of the FPTP system is the issue of “wasted votes” (Lowe et al. 2010, p.115). For example, in the 2005 British general election, 65% of votes were wasted (BBC News 2005). Every vote is important because it affects the final results. Additionally, wasted votes lead to low turnout. Fewer people are willing to vote because they think their votes aren't counted or bring about any change because there is a consistently winning party called the "Safe Seat." In the last election, for example, many people wanted to vote for the Liberal Democrats, but 'safe seats' and wasted votes dissuaded them from doing so (Lowe et al. 2010, Jones and Norton..... . middle of article ......h, the problem of wasted votes and disproportionate allocation becomes more serious with each passing year (P. Whiteley 2010). -Uni has been increasing since 2001 to reach the level of 65.1%. Furthermore, elections require enormous expenditure by the government and parties (UK Political Info 2010a, 2010b, Jones and Norton 2010). currently facing the need to cut the budget by up to 40%, AV is not a useful method (). Pollwatch 2010, J. Bingham 2010).In summary, AV system adoption is a question. quite controversial. Although the AV system solves some problems of the first past the post system and provides a more level playing field for candidates and voters, adopting this system may be quite difficult for the British coalition government in terms of budget and time commitment. . In my opinion, it is better to keep the current electoral system because careful analysis is necessary..
