Here we go again…

01.24.08

So once again the Labour Party dodges the issue of voting reform.

Yet another review bites the dust and again the government is no closer to honouring its 1997 manifesto commitment on electoral reform.

How can if be possible that the mother of parliaments elects a government on only 35% of the vote (55% of MPs)…? not to mention the fact that the second chamber is completely unelected. 

That’s not democracy! (as you may have gathered by the number of exclaimation marks in this story I’m a little bit ‘wound up by this issue!)

If the Scots, Irish and Welsh can be trusted with PR why not the whole of the UK?

British Liberalism is about partnership and gaining power is only so it can be given back to the people. 

The only party that has a hope in hell of implementing fair votes is the last remaining progressive UK Party (yes you guessed) the Liberal Democrats.
