It’s a shame how the official Yes and No campaigns have ‘hijacked’ the debate, we think the referendum would have been better without them.

Whatever your views, it’s good to see some independent videos etc being made, it shows that many people really do care about politics.

For what it’s worth we did one too “AV or Not AV? That is the question”, check it out at: http://politicsnstuff2011.blogspot.com/2011/04/av-or-not-av.html or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXrH1rfJyhs

The “Let Em AV it” link is broken.

How could you leave out the original AV vs FPTP Ice Cream Man video!!

Corrected link

Thank you Richard, the link has been repaired now.

The first “The People Say Yes” link is broken too. And the “Yes! Postcards site” link.

I fear the cause is lost. Leadership of the YES campaign has been poor. It has focussed on irrelevancies like “AV will make your MP work harder” when most constituents respect the effort their local MP puts in, or nonsenses about stopping Expenses abuse when it won’t affect that either.

Much more focus needed to be put on how AV enfranchised the average voter. That opportunity has been squandered.

Ben is probably right. But it ain’t over til its over. Share share share these great videos and links!

Ben, if you really think that, they get out there and campaign – just as Rupert and the unofficial ‘Yes!’ campaign are doing.

Don’t just stand on the sidelines and pour criticism on everything. Get out and make a difference.

Don’t forget this poster: http://www.letsavabeer.com

The proposed AV v FPTP UK Referendum consists of a contrived, fabricated and simplistic bipolar choice of only two inadequate options set against unfit UK Electoral Law, unfit UK Electoral Registers and unfit UK Election Returning Officer negligible powers of cross-constituency scrutiny. Election Returning Officers will be unable to guarantee ‘One Person-One Vote’ nor to sign off ANY part of such a referendum as ‘true’, ‘democratic’, ‘free’ or ‘fair’.

Here are fundamental AV v FPTP BOGUS REFERENDUM flaws:

1. UK Electoral Law – NOT ‘fit for purpose’.
2. UK Electoral Registers – NOT ‘fit for purpose’.
3. UK CERO powers – NOT ‘fit for purpose’.

A UK REFERENDUM MUST, ON PRINCIPLE, BE GUARANTEED TO BE VERIFIABLY AND GENUINELY ‘ONE PERSON-ONE VOTE’.

IF THIS AV v FPTP BOGUS REFERENDUM IS ATTEMPTED IT WILL NOT BE.

BOGUS UK ELECTORAL REGISTERS = BOGUS REFERENDUM:

In the face of such corrupt and non-democratic electoral foundations, these may be the only rational responses to the RUBBISH REFERENDUM:

BOYCOTT THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CONSERVATIVE PARTY CAMERON CLEGG COALITION BOGUS AV v FPTP REFERENDUM.

OR

SPOIL YOUR BALLOT PAPER WITH A SUITABLY CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENT IN RESPONSE TO THE BOGUS AV v FPTP UK REFERENDUM – A LIBDEMCON COALITION CON.

NOTE: ALL SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS HAVE TO BE RECORDED AND NUMBERS PUBLISHED.

ANYONE WHO VALUES GENUINE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND WISHES TO SEE GENUINE ‘ONE PERSON-ONE VOTE’ DEMOCRACY IN THE UK WILL NOT ENDORSE THIS ABSURD, INFANTILE, UNSOUND, NON-CREDIBLE, SHALLOW, RESTRICTED AND INSULTING BOGUS REFERENDUM WITH THEIR VALUABLE VOTE.

CONSIDER THIS:
IF THE NUMBER OF SPOILED BALLOT PAPERS EXCEEDS THE ‘YES’s, THE ‘NO’s or BOTH – WHAT NEXT?

Dan Snow on YouTube is the best explanation I’ve seen – pass it on.

[...] The deep overall failure to message adequately, as my colleague Matt Wootton has argued here on LC. The problem began with the failure of the YES side to establish that there was a profound problem with FPTP. That’s the first step any campaign needs: ‘Here is a serious problem that needs fixing’. YES failed at that first hurdle. (more here) [...]
