The full three parts of tonight's #No2AV referendum broadcast

Yesterday we published the first part of No2AV's referendum broadcast. This video includes that part and also parts II and III:

• Part I: AV as a Political Fix – including the return of Rik Mayall as Alan B’Stard
• Part II: The Unfairness of AV – illustrated by a horse race with an unusual conclusion
• Part III: The Complexity of AV – as explained by a school teacher and real-life students.

The broadcast will be shown on BBC1 at 6.55pm today, on ITV1 at 6.50pm, on Channel 4 at 7.55pm and Channel 5 at 7.25pm.

Rik Mayall stars as Alan B'stard in first No2AV referendum broadcast

Formerly a Conservative who defected to Labour under Tony Blair, B’Stard is seen in the film saying anything to get elected. The film is based sometime in the future when, as the leader of his own party standing under a multi-coloured political banner, B’Stard is taking advantage of the new AV electoral system to secure office.

NO to AV Campaign Director, Matthew Elliott observes:

“This kind of shoddy behaviour is exactly the kind of thing we might see under AV. We would have politicians doing backroom deals and not delivering on their promises just so they could cling to power. This is why we should protect our democracy and keep One Person, One Vote.”
