Vote no for AV

[OwlHoot]

Stephen Fry and Eddie Izzard, the usual novelty hounds (and publicity hounds), have been campaigning for AV

That on its own should be enough to convince anyone in their right mind to vote no.

A fool may say the sun is shining, but that doesn't make it dark outside.

A vote FOR AV is a vote to give the Liberal Democrats a permanent seat around the cabinet table

I have just voted NO

Voting for a system based on the outcome it will give isn't really what democracy is about.

that's just what the Liberals are doing

Yes undoubtedly but in this case the facts back their argument as SB mentions. It's theoretically possible in England that one party could get 40%+ of the votes but not one single seat, if all constituencies had a uniform voting distribution. It doesn't take a brain to see that's a bit odd.

Good thing in your case or that would be something else that goes so far over your head it leaves a vapour trail.

I see Cameron's been making a complete arse of himself over this

Doesn't he realise that, if he talks obvious crap over this one issue, it makes everything he says about any other issue in the future suspect?

Apparently his expensive education managed to skip the fable about the boy who cried "Wolf". Classics at Eton isn't what it used to be
