Lunchtime with Laurence - YES or NO?

It's unusual for one of BBC Radio Cornwall's programmes to have attracted to much attention from the blogosphere, particularly before it's even been broadcast. So my thanks to Cornwall Councillors Jude Robinson, Alex Folkes, Andrew Wallis and Steve Double for their blogs and Tweets about tomorrow's Lunchtime with Laurence programme, which is mainly about next week's referendum on changing the voting system.

Andrew even Tweeted "live" coverage of the programme (surely a first?), which was recorded at County Hall last night before a specially-invited audience supplied by the "Yes" and "No" campaigns. On the panel were Nathan Hollow and UKIP MEP Lord Dartmouth for the "Yes" supporters and Camborne & Redruth's Conservative MP, George Eustice, and former Falmouth & Camborne Labour MP Candy Atherton for the "No" team.

It was lively. I think most people enjoyed themselves (and surely this is also an important part of politics today.) Whether anyone learned anything new is beyond my pay grade to speculate on. You can hear what everyone had to say at 12 noon tomorrow, and watch a report on it on The Politics Show on Sunday.
