Cameron: AV ‘would be wrong for Britain’
David Cameron will share a platform with former Labour home secretary John Reid for the No to AV campaign:
“It’s great to be here today at the launch of a campaign that is crucially important, not just to my party, but to the future of democracy.
“And it’s great to be here on the same stage as John.
“Now I don’t think John will mind me saying: we don’t agree on much.
“But we do, absolutely, agree on this.
“AV would be wrong for Britain.
“It is obscure, unfair and expensive.
“It will mean that people who come in third in elections can end up winning.
“It will make politics less accountable and it will be a backward step for our country.”
