Well, we should all get out and vote yes to AV next Thursday, the most important vote we'll ever have.

Hardly ideal but it WILL reduce the number of periods when the country is run by asset stripping super priviledged philistines over the next hundred years. It's not often you can do anything seriously good for the country long term, but that is a definite way.

Bravo!

I'm hoping for a last minute surge of common sense from the voting public on this one, and maybe then we may be able to preserve so many aspects of our culture and heritage for future generations as well as ourselves.

Aside from rotten conservative governments there is the history of the allotment here....

and the historic struggle to keep them alive as part of the social conscience, which of course is not part of new conservative thinking

Well as someone who has been 'green' for 30 years or more and had allotments, I would have thought they were a flourishing success with many overbooked for years to come. Its the local councils that will have to fight this one, this government just changes the rules to its own advantage, and then ducks when the flack flies. Sodding cowards the lot of them (sorry)

Out with Conservatives in with Conservation! ;)
