BBC Parliament - The AV Debate with Andrew Neil

Andrew Neil presents a debate on the AV voting system referendum.

Four big beasts from the Westminster world to try and explain the arguments behind the Alternative Vote referendum. 

John Prescott, Michael Howard, Charles Kennedy and Tessa Jowell put the case for and against the potential change in the first UK-wide referendum for nearly 40 years. 

Andrew Neil referees the arguments and then gets reaction from journalists to what our speakers had to say.
