Most will vote no for a variety of reasons. The Nick Klegg factor I think is much over rated....Traditionally people just don't like "change". Unless it is blindingly obvious it is for the good.....New voting systems arn't blindingly obvious in their benefits or not..
Nick Glegg or no Nick Clegg the No vote will be strong...... Some maybe like me will be angry at all parties denying the public at least a chance to choose a PR system along with the other two on offer.......As a result of that anger and being denied a fair choice of options I will not be voting at all in the referendum............ |

Quote:
I do also think that genuinely strong Conservative voters will also vote no too, for the preservation of future success of their party. AV will be no friend to the Conservative party in elections so I hope their voters do go and vote this down tomorrow. I also think the NO campaign broadcasts have been far stronger than the YES ones. We will know either way sometime on Friday.I hope it is a NO result and a resounding one too. |

Then there is no point having anything other than the two main parties, or in fact any elections in most places as with some places like where I live, put up a pig in a coat as a candidate and it will be elected.

Well, yes, I take your point on that, you are right. I can see the argument for a change to the voting system but I don't think AV is the right way to go.

As AV was not gone for, any chance of PR died a death today

To make a vote of 'No' to simply punish one 'JUDAS' is utterly stupid. I hate Clegg as much as the next man, but I think AV is one step towards a fairer, and better system. It's a once if a lifetime opportunity.
- If you remember my name was username is based on Nick Clegg, I joined in the student protests and Nick Clegg was my display picture.

So if there was a referendum on the proposition that everyone must kill their first born child and Nick Clegg was against that proposition, you would vote in favour of killing your first born child just because you think it would punish Nick Clegg?

No thanks due to the points already mentioned.
Although getting one over clegg doesnt figure in my descision that would be short sighted i cant help but feel the liberal democrats are only so keen on the idea because they have the most to gain they arent trying to push it through because it is benificial to the country its just because they will benefit the most and to hell with whether its in our interests or not. That is irresponsible of them. Not to mention the quarter of a billion pounds it would cost that we can ill afford at the moment. No thanks. |

Arista, you make no sense. Go buy a new LCD TV or photoshop yourself on to the body of a teen being spunked by King Desmond if you are making your judgement based on Dick-Head-Clegg.
Life as arista. LOL at this though!

Voted 'Yes' today.
How sad it looks as if most will vote 'No' and settle for the same tweedle-dee/tweedle-dumb bullshit for decades to come. If the results speak for this then the British public deserve every useless government they get.
