Yes! Verdict at AV debate as Livingstone and Howard clash on voting reform

The Evening Standard Wednesday evening hosted a major debate regarding the upcoming May 5 Referendum on the use of the AV / FPTP voting systems - extensive coverage was given to this in the newspaper the following day...

The line-up was august: former London mayor Ken Livingstone and Cabinet minister Vince Cable argued for the YES to AV proposition, former Tory leader Michael Howard and former rower Martin Cross argued NO to AV.

The result on the night? : Broad support for the YES proposition. Of course, only the result on May 5 actually counts!
