This referendum should never have happened. Electoral reform is a great idea but we have been presented with one option only and I for one have no idea why its been this one. In my office today so many people were discussing what they were they were going to do and it seemed as if they like me had too many questions that remained unanswered. We really needed a lot more debate and discussion on this. What would have been good would have been a general consensus on electoral reform, then leaving the detail up to parliament to decide. The decision to go for AV relies on people having to technically appraise two systems and to make a decision between them. I do not have time to read through all the arguments for and against so I have taken the honest decision not to vote at all. If I had voted today I would have had to toss a coin as to which way I was going to vote. Thats not worth a trip to polling station.
