In 1997, Tony Blair’s New Labour ascended to power in the U.K. and for the first time in many years electoral reform temporarily moved to the forefront of British politics. Thirteen years on, to justify going into a coalition with the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats secured a commitment to a referendum on electoral reform. Leaders of both coalition parties are ideologically opposed on electoral reform, as are many in the media.
I recently read an article written by Laurie Penny in the New Statesman titled “Put vendetta aside and vote yes to AV” (April 21). It’s an article that highlights the nasty tactics that have slipped into the mainstream of both Yes and No camps, as Britain gets ready for a referendum on electoral reform on May 5. The Alternative Vote (AV) system is being advocated as a suitable and more democratic system in comparison to Britain’s current Majority Rule FPTP system. Hence, please vote Yes or No.
Penny describes her writing as “Pop culture and radical politics with a feminist twist”. In her article she tries to appear as the voice of reason, though her comments towards No campaigners are constant punch below the belt ... with a feminist twist of course. The key word attributed to FPTP supporters is "elitist", which in infospeak means "very very bad".
