SO THE papers have been counted, and the general public has decided they do not want the electoral system changing; I personally agree with this.

This has been a humiliating blow to Nick Clegg and the Lib-Dem party as a whole, as this was in their party manifesto.

Another blow for Labour leader Ed Miliband, who canvassed for the “yes” vote; a lot of labour people voted for no vote, which is not good for Miliband.

The amount of money spent on this referendum could have been better used somewhere else.

Can we put this to bed and get on with more important things, concerning the running of this country.
