How would that work then? Hard enough picking six first places.

You don't need to for the AV system proposed for the UK. You can vote for as many as you want. I'm sure most would continue to vote for just one. As I have a particular aversion to Conservatives (the greedy party) I might be tempted to vote for everyone but the Conservative candidate.

No, my point was, the local elections last night had a dozen candidates or so and you had to pick six first choices. How would you go about second choices?

Not anything we're going to have to worry about for the next 20 years, if ever Monsters.

Having helped out at the Lewes count yesterday, you'd be surprised at how many people had numbered their choices rather than placing an X - a pro-AV action or just ignorance?

Numbered papers weren't classed as spoilt so long as they didn't vote for more than six candidates - so long as the voter's intention is clear the votes will still be counted (if agreed by the candidate's observers)
