Its a sad day for England. the need for voting reform was unanswerable after Thatcher had ruled for the benefit of just her constituencies for so long.

However the reformers were taking on the might of both major parties and the Murdoch media empire. So this first major campaign was doomed. But our day will come. Pray its not too late, and we don't get another extremist asset stripping government like Thatchers in the meantime.
