Are you seriously trying to say that AV is no better than FPTP?

Alternative voting is a form of ranked voting. To claim that it's harder for independents to get elected is either completely false or the reform website does a bad job of explaining it. It would make it easier for independents to get elected because people can put their names down without throwing away their vote.
