UK Govt sponsored 'no2av' campaign in dirty tricks scandal

[PlanetScribbles]

Whenever you think British politics has hit a new low, think again. The advertising campaign launched by the campaign against electoral reform defies the worst expectations. The most sick-making advert is of a baby, tube in nose, with the words: "She needs a new cardiac facility NOT an alternative voting system." Another only slightly less offensive variation has a picture of a soldier alongside the caption: "He needs bulletproof vests NOT..."
Alongside the image appears the tendentious claim that a change in the voting system would cost the UK £250 million. Apparently tellers on election night will be so incapable of counting that they will need expensive machines to do the work for them. As for the public, they will find it impossible to list candidates in order of preference rather than putting a cross by one name.

This referendum is about a lot more than vote reform | News

An absolute disgrace, this shows how AV scares the living daylights out of the Conservatives over here. So much so that they are using premature babies as scapegoats for their gutter campaign.
Forget the fact that £250m is a figure borne out of complete and utter fantasy, a bare faced lie. It includes the £90m that gets spent on the referendum regardless and a large percentage for counting machines that are not even part of the plan. Scum, absolute scum.

... and another. Absolutely disgraceful, this is Britain under the Conservative dirty tricks spin machine. A govt that is cutting defence spending by 20% across the board, putting this soldier's life in clear and present danger.
