SIR – As most people who read my letters know, I am treasurer of the Bradford branch of Ukip, which favours the Alternate Vote, but this is one policy with which I disagree.
With all the ill-feeling towards politics in general, a change from ‘first-past-the-post’ to AV will make people think any change would be for the better.
My thoughts were vindicated by a TV slot for the ‘Yes’ campaign in the referendum next month. It concentrated on the expenses issue, implying that it would never have happened if we already had AV.
This is downright misleading nonsense, and I feel the Electoral Commission should condemn it and forbid any repeat of such an unprincipled outburst.
