Voted Yes this Morning.

It's not going to win but I prefer some adjustment to the situation now. I live in a very safe Tory seat, the constituency contains some very wealthy areas of the UK but the town I live is more middle class to working class. We tend to return a mix of all three parties in the council election. Either way, My vote is often utterly pointless, along with most of my town, because the towns of the other side of Epping Forrest will return the same Tory MP.

I there are plenty of valid reasons to vote No. However the No campaign has been an utter disgrace, making up complete fabrications in their posters it's a wonder they got away with it. They made up the cost of the £250 million to switch to AV (And then had posters with babies saying they needed medical care and not a new voting system) when they included the cost of the referendum itself, voting machines that won't be needed, and invented another £50 million from heaven knows where.
