We've had a fantastic response to our [call](http://www.takebackparliament.com/sites/takebackparliament/index.php/blog/wanted-posters-to-win-the-yes-campaign/?ref=opendemocracy.net#disqus%5Fthread) for poster ideas to fight the "Yes" campaign on AV - good designs, along with some clever slogans that put Tom Harris MP's [hypocritical effort](http://www.takebackparliament.com/sites/takebackparliament/index.php/blog/wanted-posters-to-win-the-yes-campaign/?ref=opendemocracy.net#disqus%5Fthread) for the "Noes" in the shade. My feeling is that a strong and simple message is what's needed that draws on the deep well of anti-politics whilst showing why reform will be an improvement. This [very striking black and white poster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mmp-poster.jpg?ref=opendemocracy.net) from the 1993 referendum in New Zealand is very effective in that respect I think. 

Here are some of the best ones so far... 

*I'm a big fan of this with one its classy design and jaw-dropping stats:*

Many of the designs highlight expenses linking it to a system that breeds arrogance and corruption among MPs:

*I really like the slogan for this one, although I think the design is a bit too bright and cluttered*:

*The 50% support in a constituency argument is one of the most powerful arguments for AV according to polling:*

*This one's a great design, though perhaps a bit too obscure at first glance:*

*A bit of humour is always good:*

*And here we have a straight-forward reversal and correction of Mr Harris's effort to make it honest!*
