Labour NO to AV today announced the names of 375 Labour Party councillors from across Britain who will be voting ‘NO’ to AV on May 5th. The names are advertised in The Guardian and are accompanied by the release of a leaflet directed at Labour Party members and supporters (see below).
Joan Ryan, Director of Labour NO to AV and former Vice Chair of the Labour Party, said:
“Labour Party councillors, members and supporters have a free vote in this referendum. Today 375 Labour councillors who will be fighting the Conservatives and Lib Dems at the local elections in May have appealed to everyone voting for the Labour Party also to reject the unfair and expensive Alternative Vote. This is an overwhelming show of support from Labour councillors from every corner of Britain. On May 5th, we urge Labour members and supporters to Vote Labour and Vote NO.”
