Voting Yes to AV?

sobriqueAccording to the polls, the 'yes to AV' campaign is suffering somewhat. I'm fairly sure at least in part things like this are responsible: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1383314/AV-referendum-Vote-No-tomorrow-stop-Nick-Clegg-destroying-democracy.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
But anyway. I honestly thing AV is a good choice, for all sorts of reasons. I'm actually quite appalled at the mountains of bullshit I've seen about it - mostly from the 'No' campaign.
Maybe it's not the best choice, but I think it's enough of a step in the right direction, that I'd like to urge everyone to get out and vote tomorrow. Ideally for AV, but if you don't think it's fit for purpose, go and vote against.
The last thing I want to see, is this referendum - the first time in a VERY long time we've been offered a chance of political reform - just sort of fall apart due to voter apathy.
