Have you ‘Liked’ the Unofficial YES to AV campaign Facebook page yet?

Remember this — the unofficial Facebook Lib Dem fan group, We got Rage Against the Machine to #1, we can get the Lib Dems into office!, the internet election sensation? (Still going strong with over 146,000 members, by the way.)

Well, the same guys are also behind an unofficial Yes campaign Facebook page also: YES to Alternative Vote on 5th May, with over 3,000 fans to date. The page is replete with links, photos and videos — serious, and erm not so serious — which you can share with your friends’ network on Facebook.

The group has managed to upset No campaign president (and former Labour leader) Margaret Beckett, after a photo mock-up of her head on a dinosaur was posted to the group’s wall — Ms Beckett somewhat po-facedly denounced it as a “nasty personal attack”. Judge for yourselves [WARNING: link to Daily Mail site coming up, please remember to wash your eyeballs afterwards] here.

Here are a couple of my favourite Yes campaign posters from the Unofficial YES to AV page:

Snazzy looking page 😉

Although I’d go to pains to point out that only some of the people behind the page are Lib Dems.

Cretin is a somewhat offensive word. I doubt you mean to imply that people who support AV don’t respect the learning disabled, and are rather old reactionary in their thinking?
