Fun Online Polls: NHS reform & Alternative Vote

Andrew Lansley's suggestion that GPs be given more control over NHS budgets received a very lukewarm nod of approval in last week's Fun Online Poll. Full results as follows:

Giving GPs control over NHS budgets is...

A small step in the right direction - 36%
Indifferent unless there are loads of other reforms - 31%
A step in the wrong direction - 25%
Other, please specify - 8%

So now we know. Thanks to everybody who took part.

As to electoral reform, my original preference was "first past the post with top up seats" (which is UKIP's preferred option - David Campbell Bannerman refers to it as "AV-plus" here), but a lot of people don't like party lists and/or MPs without a constituency link, so having weighed up all the options, my current preference is "multi-member constituencies" (explanation as to how this could work here).

But never mind all that. They have now published the AV referendum question for next May: "Do you want the United Kingdom to adopt the 'alternative vote' system instead of the current 'first past the post' system for electing Members of Parliament to the House of Commons?", which I have chosen as the question for this week's Fun Online Poll.
