Best comment I've read on the LibDems and AV

I'll support AV in the referendum even though it's not my preference for reform, but this comment by Nick Cohen says it all.

I'm quite worried that AV will cripple further reform, whether or not the referendum is successful.

I agree - and if it is lost, then
the chance of any further electoral reform is basically zero - it's taken 100 years to get this referendum, how many centuries before the next?!

One side will claim further reform is more likely with a No vote, the other will claim further reform is more likely with a Yes vote.

I personally think a Yes vote will show there is apetite for change - so the next question will be is the hunger sated - if not, then reform will keep going.

You have to make up your own mind.

As it happens I am pro AV but anti-PR - as I explain on my blog.

Not tempted to work with Douglas Carswell and Caroline Lucas, Mark?

I am Euan, I am a cosignatory of the amendment they have put down.
