When you vote tomorrow in the AV referendum, think about the position you are in.
Right now, Britain is caught in a system which favours two-party politics and the red-blue seesaw. Real political accountability has been all but wiped out. The House of Commons is used as Labour and the Conservative's personal battleground for rhetoric, with substantial change in Britain firmly off the agenda.
You have the opportunity to lay the first stepping-stone towards genuine parliamentary reform. It's an opportunity no-one has had in the past, and it's an opportunity which no-one is very likely to get in the future. Voting yes to AV is shouting YES to accountable politicians, a real opposition, and a parliament which reflects the diversity of opinion in Britain. And only a government like that can make any real progress in this country.
I'm not going to repeat all the arguments I made in my last, fairly-recent post on this topic. But I am going to repeat this, over and over: This Is A Once In A Lifetime Opportunity, And Britain Needs You To Support Parliamentary Change.
Please, don't waste this chance. We've waited too long to start the long, messy process of ditching two-party politics. Don't make us wait any longer. We can't afford it. Vote Yes. Change Britain.
