Does anyone know what the actual text which is actually going to appear on the actual ballot papers on May 5th is? A bit of googling hasn't turned up any results for me, but the pages I was finding suggest to me that I may have been going about my searching in the wrong way.
I'm kind of assuming that the ballot paper will look broadly like this:
Poll
Now, lots of campaigners would have you believe that this is analogous to:
Poll
And lots of other campaigners would have you believe it's analogous to:
Poll
You'll notice that the second two polls allow the results to be interpreted as pol(l)ar opposites.
So, does anyone know exactly what the question is? More to the point, has the government made any commitment at all about what they're going to do with the results, how they'll be interpreted, or whether Cameron will (in fact) go "oh, that's nice" and carry on regardless with the existing system?
