The BBC says:
The UK has voted overwhelmingly to reject changing the way MPs are elected - dealing a bitter blow to Nick Clegg on top of heavy Lib Dem poll losses.
Officials say 19.1m people voted in the second UK-wide referendum in history - a higher than expected turnout of 41%.
With votes still being counted, the No campaign is on course to get 69%.
...
So far more than 400 areas of the UK have voted No, while only 10 have voted Yes - six of which are in London.
In Cambridge the AV vote went opposite how the country voted, so 21253 (54%) Yes and 17871 (46%) No. The AV vote (and so-called voting reform in general) is a project of the academic middle class, and the urban elite in general, and it is quite evident that the rest of the country has no real interest in it, although the No campaign vote was flattered because of the anti-Lib Dem vote.
