Yes to AV


I was pleased to be able to show my support for a 'Yes' vote in the AV Referendum today. I am fourth from the left in the picture taken in the City Square today. I have been a supporter of electoral reform for a long time. I seconded a motion at the Scottish Labour conference back in 1994 which committed Labour to PR for the Scottish Parliament. I think anything which makes politicians more accountable to their electorate is a good thing. I think the fact that the Conservatives are so opposed to AV tells its own story about why it should be supported. You can find out more about the Yes to AV campaign, Labour Yes to AV campaign and the Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform on their websites.
