MP on the phone to say YES to fairer votes


MP Julian Huppert will be manning the phones at the Cambridge YES to Fairer Votes Campaign’s headquarters on Wednesday (April 20) as voters prepare to take part in the AV referendum.

Julian has volunteered for a two hour stint at Sheraton House on Cambridge’s Castle Hill Business Park.

Campaign volunteers will also be out in the city centre on April 30 when they set up a stall outside the Guildhall to give residents more information about the referendum and why they should vote YES to electoral reform.

Julian said: “Voting Yes in the AV referendum will mean an end to MPs’ safe seats for life and make them work harder to earn voters’ support.

“In future, they will have to get more than 50 per cent of the vote to win. They will have to listen hard to what their residents are saying which means they will have a better idea of what they are thinking.

“AV will make the voting system fairer and hand more power to the people.”

CAPTION: Julian joins Andrew Duff, Member of the European Parliament to support the YES to Fairer Votes campaign.
