Cllr Iain Lindley’s Diary

I don’t mind having a debate about electoral reform, but let’s make no bones about Gordon Brown’s announcement today that he wants to examine ways to change the voting system – he knows he is going to lose, so as a last desperate attempt to restrict the damage he is now going to look at fixing the system.

If the Prime Minister is so concerned about the democratic legitimacy of his Government, there is a very simple option he can take – call a General Election and let the British people decide.
