I did some phone bank work for the Yes to AV campaign last week; mostly what I learnt is that old people have voted overwhelmingly (based on the ones I spoke to) for No. Some of these people, when asked about the referendum, actually had no clue what they were voting on in the first place. I have a suspicion that this was because the elderly rely on mail-outs for political information due to a lack of internet access. Because of this lack of internet access, they can't verify facts, so basically if the No campaign wins tomorrow, it will be ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF MISLEADING OLD PEOPLE so they are dicks*.


*This statement may well be totally made up but THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT THE NO CAMPAIGN HAVE BEEN DOING ALL ALONG SO THEY DESERVE IT.
