AV scam
Quick update on AV; thanks to Guido I saw this article about the serious conflict between the yes campaign, the referendum and the profits people hope to make out of a change to the system.
I stood as the Conservative candidate for Lib Dem held Bamburgh Division in the Northumberland County Council elections in 2008. And have stayed involved in the local Conservatives - who for the first time in years had a chance of winning the Berwick upon Tweed seat. We turned it from a safe Lib Dem seat to a marginal, thanks to hard work by the candidate whose election blog is http://trevelyantalks.blogspot.com/ . I'm now having another go at the County Council in the 2013 election.
After the 2010 election I will keep occasionally blogging, mainly on political and economic issues.
I was born in Yorkshire, and lived all my working life in Central London. But coming to live in Seahouses a few years ago felt like coming home: I've always come on holiday here, as did my parents, who came from Newcastle and Tynemouth. And their families came from round here originally. I'm an accountant who worked mostly in general management in the City. I'm now semi-retired, although still do a couple of things 3 or 4 days a month.

Yes I was just reading that same article this morning. Let's just hope for a NO vote.
