A Waste Of Money?

The referendum to change the voting system to AV was defeated very
decisively. Even the most strident supporters of the change, those who
were throwing their toys out of the pram as it became more and more obvious
that they were going to lose have admitted that now the people have spoken
the issue is closed for a generation. Mind you, they still hope to let it
in by the back door via reforms to the House of Lords.

We do not need our elections rigged to give the politicians more power at
the expense of the voters but what we do need in the way of constitutional
reform is more referenda where the people decide the issue directly as they
have on this occasion.

Don't rig the system ask the people!
