How does a referendum which has no PR option prove that people dont want PR?
Ah, the excuses begin. So, when the referendum results are announced, you plan to answer the likely 'no' vote by claiming that if it had offered a full PR system, such as the additional member system used in Scotland or full-on STV, then we would have had a 'yes'?

Much as I agree that people who are in love with PR should have voted 'no' in this referendum, I don't for a moment believe that most 'no' voters have rejected the specific system on offer. Rather, people simply see no imperative for change.

Referendum results are starting to come in now - very convincingly on the 'NO' side so far.
