      Just some additional context that not everyone has:

      There was a propaganda campaign run by a chap named Matthew Elliott to make sure of the no outcome in the AV vote. Billboards with “baby needs a hospital not a voting system” and similar all over the country

      That same chap was pretty instrumental in the Vote Leave campaign
