Impact of Alternative Votes

Evidence that "alternative" votes have had an impact.

The large number of alternative votes in Liverpool seems to have had an immediate impact with the Lib Dems re-assessing priorities (although not on housing unfortunately).

A dedicated executive member for "recycling" looks like a reaction to the big local vote for a particular alternative vote last Thursday. Whether that actually leads to any improvements will have to be monitored, but it at least shows that the alternative vote has had an impact locally in the same way as the UKIP vote has hit national headlines.
