What this man says has a lot of truth. I wouldn't be surprised if Alternative Vote fails to secure the vote just because so many people have been told by the papers that it doesn't have a chance. It hasn't helped that the 'No to AV' campaign has been ridiculously well funded and the Conservatives have sold their coalition partners down the river as per usual.
Nevertheless I'm still retaining a glimmer of optimism. Polls are all very well but they will always be imprecise and selective. Hopefully the mass of voters on the day will realise that a step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction even if it isn't a flawless solution.
Anyway I'd be tempted to vote for it just because so many opponents in the news and on the television. have tried to explain how it is too complicated for me to understand and that 'noone is interested in voting reform'. Those condescending twats deserve a kick up the backside from the public if they think they can insult its intelligence so openly.
