The No side is running one of the most intellectually dishonest campaigns I've ever seen on voting reform. Very unfortunate that folks are falling for it.

They aren't really. It's more that most people don't care about electoral reform. The whole campaign has operated in this ridiculous bubble; very important to the chattering classes but utterly irrelevant to ordinary people.

Then why is No now leading in the polling when they weren't before?

Don't know what's been happening in this case very well, but I think if people are uninformed and uninterested, they tend to vote against change in practically all referenda.

Sure, but that still doesn't explain why Yes used to be leading and now isn't. If what you and Al are suggesting is the sole reason for No's lead then the No side should've always been ahead.

I once had a summer camp counselor from Swansea.

He taught us to always spit after saying Cardiff.
