Have you/are you voting yes to AV?

[thefinerthingsinlife]

I'm still undecided which way to vote. I can't see AV making a differnce to women but I'm probably missing something.

Yes I did indeed vote yes, for all the reasons above. I also voted for Elvis vs Tesco in the locals as he was the only candidate who dropped a flyer round and talked to me face to face. He hasn't got a chance....! Good on him though.

I voted yes - mainly because I think our current parliament needs to know that the current set up is not acceptable. But I'm a bit apathetic about it as I don't actually think AV is likely to improve government - especially given how poor the campaign on both sides has been (at least around here).

I think this is the first referendum I've ever voted in and it's a bit of an anticlimax.

I voted yes too, for all the reasons already mentioned.

The Yes campaign posters up here in Scotland just say 'Cameron wants you to vote no'. With a particularly toady picture of DC.

Spoiled my paper. I've been thinking about it all week and i'm just not happy with either.

Got to ask - Elvis vs Tesco??

Done - yes to AV for all the reasons previously mentioned.

hocuspontas - majority of those that voted I believe. That's the usual. Otherwise nothing would ever happen as turnout is pretty low in general. There are instances where the Tories government try to change it to a majority of all eligible for things they want to fix and it usually gets overturned as it's so unfair.

yes

Hocuspontas (love that.

It will be as the proportion of votes cast. In some cases (as in with Welsh devolution, I think) they set a threshold so that the vote is only counted as valid if there is a 40% turnout. The amendment to set the 40% threshold on this referendum was rejected. So, it is just whichever side gets the most votes on this one.

oops, sorry Alice, x posted.

I voted YES. As far as I am concerned anything which The Spectator, The Tories and the BNP are so set against must have merit.

notenoughsocks - at least we gave the same answer

Thanks ladies

I voted yes.

If David Cameron, the BNP and the Daily Mail don't want it then it must be a good thing, I figured.

Well after dithering for 5 minutes in the booth I put an X in the yes box. Mainly because tories and BNP don't want it.

So according to this thread the result should be yes...

Mumsnet word is final

Counting starts this afternoon apparently.

I have checked the BBC website but can't find any "early indications". The papers and news sites had been predicting a landslide for No - but was that just a tactic? I have no idea?

Does anyone know if there are any indications of what the result might be?

God I'm impatient

They're saying on the radio now it's a no, but I've not been listening to how they think they know. Predicted no, not an actual no, obvs.
