    It would appear that the former Liberal Democrat leader Paddy Ashdown has entered the AV fight by launching an attack on George Osborne, accusing him of cheap mud-slinging and scaremongering ahead of the alternative vote referendum.

    Osborne claimed the society, which gave £1.1m to the yes campaign, would benefit from the adoption of the alternative vote system through its commercial subsidiary, Electoral Reform Services Ltd. But Ashdown states that Osborne's approach is a prime example of why British politics needs radical reform.

    "For the chancellor of the exchequer to claim that there is something 'dodgy' about the Electoral Reform Society donating cash to a campaign in favour of electoral reform is bizarre. George Osborne makes the case for change for us. He graphically shows why we need to change our politics. Why we need to clean it up and why the voting public deserve something better."
