Political Reform

I don’t often agree with Billy Bragg, but he is right to suggest that the Upper House is based on proportions of votes. The problem is that no British politician would accept that without completely neutering the House as well.

After all, how could you get legislation through without the support of one of the other parties?

Sounds like co-operation to me!

On the subject of political funding, why don’t we have a box on the Electoral Roll form about how we would like our proportion of the funding to be spent. We could tick Labour, Lib Dem, Scot Nats, Tory, BNP etc. Of course there would also be the ability to write in a party name and a “none of the above” box as well.
