STV - Not a TV Station

A friend of mine asked me the other day, how the single transferable vote works, or STV. It's the voting system that is going to be used for the council elections and is a form of proportional representation. It's going to lead to a major shake up in councils across Scotland. Anyway, I promised my friend that I would post a full explanation of STV and the Additional Member system on my blog. Which is probably why I haven't written here for some days. It will appear in due course.
