There is no case for the No vote save the preservation of the status quo, and that is no choice for any person of principle.

There can be no doubt that the No campaign was largely based on outright lies and inventions, and to a lesser extent on conjuration and spin - oh, and run and financed by the conservatives in breach of their coalition promises.

It represents so many of the things that are wrong with UK politics right now.

Largely, I despair of UK voters to be so fooled. Even now the admissions are coming from the No campaigners that this is the end of voting reform for a generation. These of course follow their admissions that the estimates of increased cost were pure invention.

I know the conservatives don't want fair elections, but why would anyone else be fooled by their crock of shit?
