Alternative voting is a form of ranked voting. To claim that it’s harder for independents to get elected is either completely false or the reform website does a bad job of explaining it. It would make it easier for independents to get elected because people can put their names down without throwing away their vote.
Are you seriously trying to say that AV is no better than FPTP?
