The No 2 AV campaign is built on lies and smears. Those opposed to AV consistantly argue that it will 'make pandering to the BNP a national sport' in a system that has 'Gerrymandered them out'. They warn us that BNP are going to win vast numbers of seats and sit government while all evidence points to the opposite happening.

We know that AV works, it is the system we use for Mayor of London and Mayor of Lewisham. I do not believe that it has led to any additional pandering to racists, nor was it a 'massive retrograde step in democracy' (leaving aside the debate about the presidential nature of directly elected mayors).

And it is an odd 'partisan fraud' when it was a policy of the Labour Party in the 2010 manifesto that was then adopted as a compromise between Lib Dems and Conservatives.
