What is needed is to make every vote count (just as it did in this
referendum). Round here the Tories have such a big majority its not
worth getting off your arse to vote anything else. I suspect other
parts of the country have the opposite problem.

If the referendum had been counted on a council basis the NOs would
still have won (28 to 4) but my guess is that the turnout would have
been a lot less.
