Looks like Sheffield has shown Clegg the door
He'd aged about 20 years when i saw him on the news just before.

I'm just watching Paul Scriven (ex leader Sheff City council) on the news trying to squirm his way out of such a savage loss - I always thought Nick Clegg was a ******* . I wonder what will happen to AV now?

Voted yes... Everything's crossed now, I so hope it gets through...

haven't been on here for a while & this made for a fascinating read, so thanks to all who contributed. Probably more lucidity & accuracy than in either of the No/Yes campaigns

... and we've ended up with a majority government in the Scottish parliament, under a system designed to keep out majority governments. Doh. The election map is ridiculously yellow... I voted Labour, and I'm in one of the few constituencies that still has a Labour MSP, but to be honest I completely expected this, considering how betrayed the whole country feels by Clegg's 'it's what the nation wanted'. If he'd looked a little closer he would have noticed the Tories only had one sodding Scottish seat and now the whole bleeding country hates him Grumble...

Oh well. I did expect this from the AV referendum, but it was a nice idea.

Bit of a shame that in the end the AV thing seemed to come down to personality politics. I reckon a lot of people voted no because they hate Nick Clegg. Perhaps it would have been better if our leading politicians had stayed out of it.

Don't like the look of this at all. The tories have proven to be masters of manipulation, deflecting the real issues onto personality politics and with the newspapers support the majority fall in line. You ask the no voters what AV is, what it means - they haven't a clue!
There is a constituency not far from where I live which is considered the most deprived area in the country ( Pier ward, Tendring) worst health,greatest deprivation, massive unemployment. What did they vote? TORY ...... f***in TORY!!! What do they think the Tories are going to do for them?!! Thing is, they all read the Sun and the Daily Mail, believe all that shit and do as they're told.

They deserve it then. Shame the rest of us dont

A great opportunity for change has been missed.

I'd be interested on the thoughts of the no to AV voters, on the ridiculous situation in the North West where one council seat was decided on the toss of a coin, and another on the drawing of straws after dead heat votes. In one case the result meant one party came out with a majority too. How can that be right? Do you really think second preferences would not be better than leaving it to chance?
