A senior Liberal Democrat is putting it about this morning that Michael Gove, the
education secretary, will be voting for AV tomorrow. But a very close friend of Gove tells me that ‘this is categorically untrue. Michael will be voting to keep first past the post.’
This Lib Dem’s briefing strikes me as rather ham-fisted. One might even call it disorganised wickedness.
UPDATE: Michael Gove is not only voting No tomorrow, he’s getting out the vote for No. The education secretary, who has up to now stayed out of the referendum campaign, will be making phone calls to remind Conservatives to go out and vote No tomorrow from CCHQ this afternoon.
