1. The capitalist economic system that currently dominates the world is primarily run in the interests of big business.
2. Soaring food and fuel prices could cause millions of people to starve or freeze to death.
3. Ordinary working and middle class people must overthrow our capitalist bosses and politicians, to create democratic socialist societies.
4. Everyone should have an equal say when electing our rulers, although there may be some degree of workers' control of industry.
5. STV is the fairest electoral system since it avoids the need for tactical voting and lets voters choose between candidates from the same party.

Description

Using the STV electoral system, voters can allocate preferences to various candidates in their constituency.

If a voter's first preference is eliminated, his or her vote is transferred to that person's second choice, and so on for remaining preferences.

If a voter's first preference gets more votes than required to be elected, a proportion of his or her vote is transferred to that person's second choice, and so on.

Votes should be counted by hand rather than by computers, so that scrutineers can check that electoral fraud is not taking place.
