Prime Minister David Cameron has announced the Conservative spokespersons picked to campaign against the Alternative Vote.
The Conservative leader says the AV voting system is ‘unclear’ and leads to unjust outcomes and a political system that is ‘unaccountable’. MPs and Conservative Party activists will join Mr Cameron and other ‘No to AV’ patrons in campaigning against AV in the upcoming referendum.
The MPs announced were Conor Burns MP; George Eustice MP; Sam Gyimah MP; Kwasi Kwarteng MP; Charlotte Leslie MP; Priti Patel MP; Chris Skidmore MP; Chris Philp and Maggie Throup.
Each will play a leading role during the forthcoming referendum in highlighting the message of why people should vote against changing our electoral system both in the media and in debates taking place up and down the country.
George Eustice MP said: “Our current one person one vote system delivers clear outcomes, strong government and is used by over 70 countries around the world. Under the Alternative Vote system some people get more votes than others and that’s not fair.”
