Referendum on Voting Reform

On May 5th there is a referendum on voting reform - this doesn't happen often... it's possibly the only time this will happen in our generation.

I think the church does have an important role to play in politics, but this seems a mater of conscience rather than morals or ethics, so I won't tell you which way my opinion lies.

But it is important to be informed. Here are two links to newspaper articles that hi-light both sides of the argument. They are quite readable, so don't be put off if they appear too long to read on screen.

Johann Hari: If you get the X Factor you'll get AV.


There is an alternative to the fudge that is AV.

I hope you'll get out and vote on the 5th.
