I don't understand it or see how the STV can work with the present constituencies so is this what would happen?:-
Several constituencies would be amalgamated, let's say seven so there would be seven seats available but there are 25 people standing for election.
You vote for number 3 as your preferred member and the others in order of preference.
Someone (??????) has determined what the "quota" neded for election would be (depending on the size of the electorate?).
When your vote is counted, number 3 has already reached his quota and is already elected so your vote gets transferred to your next preferred candidate and so on?
That seems crazy?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
