Poll debate

Published: 31 March, 2011

• WE call for a local debate in Camden to give people the chance to hear the arguments and make up their minds in the run-up to the first nationwide referendum since 1975.

The Yes! campaign, which brings together local people of all parties and none, is focused on securing a reform that offers us the biggest change to the way we elect MPs since all women got the vote in 1928. Although the alternative vote is as simple as 1-2-3, a public debate would give those who want to know more the chance to hear and test the arguments.  

We hope that No campaign will be willing to debate and are happy to work with them to get this organised and find a suitable neutral chair.
