Richard Denton-White speaks to the Lyme meeting
Fair Votes for Dorset ran a demonstration of an AV election at an event in the Woodmead Hall, Lyme Regis on Monday 10th January, based on popular movies, to show people from the local community how the Alternative Vote system works. Richard Denton-White, Chair of Fair Votes for Dorset and Tim Kent, Regional Organiser for Yes to Fairer Votes addressed 30 people including Labour, Green, Lib Dem supporters and, significantly, 4 paid up Tories including a local Borough Councillor. Fair Votes for Dorset gained a further 7 members, and the event organiser, Ann Sargent is noe determined to set up a local group in Lyme Regis to actively promote a Yes voter to AV on May 5th.
Richard Denton-White says ” We were very encouraged by the positive response from the Tories att he meeting. Importantly 30% of electors who voted Tory at last May’s General Election now support changing the way we elect our MPs.”
