However - you as a party supported the change to A.V. - you were totally out of step with the British population on this one - would you admit that you were wrong?
As I said at the time, AV wasnt a good choice but its better than FPTP. But this wasnt a particularly fair vote, most of the media backed No, and the No campaign managed to turn it into a vote on Clegg.
And Clegg gave it very little chance in the first place by providing amunition to the No camp, saying it was a 'miserable little compromise'.
He should have insisted on a referendum on PR or AV+, something many people are actually entusiastic about.
The Local election was largely about people turning from Clegg, so no surprise it lost really. Shame it was a wasted opertunity.
Adrian Windisch MSc BEng has lived in Reading since 2000.
He is Chair of Reading Green Party and has been the candidate in several local elections and General Elections in Reading West in 2010 and 2005.
Adrian Says: "I believe we can achieve a sustainable future and I am doing everything I can to change my life and encourage others to do the same in order to achieve this. I lead the campaign against the closure of Battle Hospital to build a Tesco, and I'm a director of Sunseed, an environmental charity doing research and educating volunteers.
I am a member of environmental building organisations and I've helped build three straw bale buildings in Oxford and the Brighton Earthship. I have worked in a rural Tanzania with volunteers to build a school and I'm a member of RedR - engineers for disaster relief.
