I don’t often on this blog clearly endorse one side of a political debate. But I have already nailed my colours to the mast on tomorrow’s UK referendum on the Alternative Vote. See my argument from Christian principles for a Yes! vote; my endorsement of Ekklesia’s Yes! campaign; and, most explicitly, my response to Doug Chaplin’s No! arguments.

I have nothing more to add to the debate except to express my disappointment that the campaign has been so focused on personalities, and often so negative. While the principles I put forward in my post Touch not the Lord’s anointed apply in detail only to Christians, I wish they could be applied also to political leaders. Or perhaps they can, as we are talking about ministers and Privy Councillors of a queen who was anointed in God’s name at her coronation. But there are some complex theological and political issues there which I don’t want to go into now.

So let me simply urge my UK readers to go out and vote, at any time from 7.00 am to 10.00 pm tomorrow, and to vote Yes! to fairer votes.
