Scrapbook plans to stay neutral throughout the electoral reform campaign, but with No to AV’s garish and somewhat overblown campaign already ripening for satire, it would be wholly wrong of us not to guide you towards the wonderful ARGH to AV site.

Two new Scottish blogs
If their blog suddenly exploded (unlikely as it is powered presumably by biodiesel) Scotland’s green movement would lose a decent clutch of its rising stars.
