First Past The Post IS a form of AV

If I vote in a First Past The Post (FPTP) election, it is an Alternative Vote election, for my first choice of person to represent me is myself.

FPTP in the UK does not allow me to vote for "none of the above", which is closer to voting for "me" than abstaining.

What AV does is to add layers to the process and allow my preferences to be recorded for all to see.

That last point I feel is very important, for FPTP currently elections enable politicians to play out the conceit that they know the nature of a "message" being sent to the government, the opposition or other parties. AV might go a little way to reduce that. Is that enough to justify a change?

FPTP is not perfect. AV is not perfect.

The perfect system is voting on a case by case basis with the option to delegate to whomsoever I choose on a case by case basis as and when I choose to do so with the proviso that I am not using Other Peoples' Money in that process. You know, like I do in all private transactions.

I feel that even if we retained FPTP, it would be a step forward if we could have "none of the above".

AV should also have a "none of the above" as a choice.

Do you think the "official" NO and YES "camps" would support such a feature?
