AV Referendum Results

I would like to say thank you to all those who got involved and contributed to our great success in the AV referendum on Thursday 5th May. As I am sure you know, the Wiltshire AV turnout was 45.6% even without council elections and delivered a resounding 71% victory for the Nos. I really appreciate all those who campaigned. With that constitutional question settled for the next few years, there still remains plenty to do to change the tired political system and I would personally like to see even more transparency and openness from MPs; new powers being given to voters to sack failing politicians between elections and more local and national questions put to the electorate via referenda.
