AV Referendum Debate

With the Alternative Vote Referendum coming in May, the Glasgow University Liberal Democrats and the Glasgow University Conservative Association held a debate on the matter in the Debates Chamber of the Glasgow University Union, representing the YES vote and the NO vote, respectively.

From left to right: Sophie Bridger (GULD President), Katy Gordon (Scottish Liberal Democrats), Dr Thomas Lundberg (Moderator, Lecturer in Politics), Ruth Davidson (Scottish Conservatives), and Ross McFarlane (GUCA President).

Update: 67.9% of the voters said NO to AV, and 32.1% said YES. Out of the 440 areas in the UK, only 10 voted YES, of which only 2 were in Scotland. Interestingly the two areas in Scotland which voted YES were Edinburgh Central (which contains the University of Edinburgh) and Glasgow Kelvin (which contains the University of Glasgow).
