How many Councillors would keep their seats with AV?


Stat-Crunch 3 - How many Councillors would have keep their seats with AV?


I'm aware that the AV referendum only applied to parliamentary elections, but as a bit of fun - let's see how Thursday would have turned out if AV was in place.

Only 8 winners of 44 received support from over 50% of their community.


The AV debate is now getting old however, and such a resounding 'No' in the polls from Stoke-on-Trent citizens suggests they are perfectly happy with this system for electing to council (After all, changing the parliamentary rules could have been a trigger for a larger reform).

But as a stat-crunch, I thought this might make interesting reading as a post-referendum comment.
