For Sophie, Paul's unyielding 'No' to AV points to a worrying faultline in their marriage.

By Hugh Costello. As polling day arrives, and as the fault lines are exposed in the coalition's facade of unity, Sophie's passion for change begins to afflict her marriage to Paul.

By Hugh Costello. Paul Weeks is a "NO" man - he thinks AV is expensive and flawed and not the British way. In the week of Bin Laden's killing, he finds the AV referendum an embarrassing sideshow. But his wife, Sophie, has been actively campaigning for a YES vote, with a vigour that has surprised Paul. Now, as polling day arrives, and as the fault lines are exposed in the coalition's façade of unity, Paul and Sophie's marriage also starts to unravel. Does Sophie's passion for change have as much to do with their relationship as with electoral reform..?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
