  1. free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice
  2. legitimately sought, done, given, etc.; proper under the rules (as in a fair fight)
  3. without irregularity or unevenness (as in a fair surface)
  4. honest; just; straightforward
  5. without favouring one party, in a fair evenhanded manner
  6. Your one vote counts for more as it is a vote for the person you place top and is not eroded by any other person on the voting paper.
  7. The fairness of the OMOV system over the unfairness of the system we have now
  8. The real reason the premier is against it
  9. Name all the countries in the world that use the OMOV
  10. Name all the obstacles the government have put in the way of OMOV to stop it becoming law
  11. And why it is important to vote – the 8,000 plus 1 threshold
  12. Absentee voters can still vote
