Quote of the Day
The deal on offering us a referendum on AV was cooked up by politicians seeking to cobble together a coalition to gain them power. Hardly new politics. The plebiscite is not being offered to us on the basis of high principle, or as a consequence of careful consideration on what is best to renew our democracy. No wonder the “no” campaign seems to be gaining momentum.
Douglas Carswell MP (Conservative, Clacton)
