True story.
I'm have to be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable about b3ta getting involved in a political campaign.
I've checked the Vote For A Change website and it reads fairly neutrally as an electoral reform organization, but I have no idea who's behind it or what their personal agenda is.
"Electoral Reform" is one of those phrases, like "Change", that sounds refreshing and fair and overdue. But it's worth remembering that there are many types and variations of alternative voting systems, and every one of them has the potential to enhance one group's aims over others. I can't actually see what this site is proposing or who it would most directly benefit. And let's face it, anyone who would go to all the trouble these people have gone to must have some personal stake.

basically they're a bunch of fluffy liberals who like things like the Single Transferable Vote - rather than being a cover for fascists.

Because I'm sick of the people saying "It's all crap we need something different" without having something different they are ready to explain and defend.
This "Vote fo a Change" is no doubt run by the same malcontent no-hopers that come out with a new party every so often, the same also-rans that never get elected.
It seems to be promoting proportional representation. Which to me means not putting the best politicians forward, but putting the crap ones forward too. Either that or it's the insanity of direct democracy.
The best message for people isn't "Throw Westminister away, it's all shit!" it's "Get involved in politics and change things".
However I hope this vote for a change fails. I'm sick and fed up of people saying it's crap without having a solution.
