AV

Following on from my mini-Snapshot about the upcoming AV referendum, I debated Peter Facey of Unlock Democracy (www.unlockdemocracy.org.uk) at an event in Horley.

I agree with Peter on a number of things that Unlock Democracy look to promote, but I'm afraid AV isn't one of them! Nonetheless it was great to be able to have such an open and vibrant debate with a radical thinker like Peter about the upcoming referendum.

And for more info on why I think you should vote NO in the referendum, please see:

ITV Late Debate

Dear all,

Last night I appeared on ITV's Late debate, my first foray on national TV!

Alongside the local elections, I am campaigning for a NO vote in the referendum on AV. I have been doing town hall debates as one of the Conservative Party spokesmen for the NO campaign. My last appearance in Reading is avaliable to view online at http://avdebates.com/reading/.

I am also taking part in an AV debate on Saturday 26th March in the Centenary Lounge of Horley Constitutional Lounge at 1pm. I will be speaking on the NO side, and Peter Facey, founding Director of Unlock Democracy (an organisation dealing with constitutional reform in the UK), will speak in favour of AV.

For more information please contact Valerie Marshall on 01293 786859 or valeriemarshall47@hotmail.com.

Please feel free to forward to anyone you think will be interested.

Best wishes,

Sam
