Re: Electoral Reform - The UK Way (none / 0)

One could just as well argue that it would be the Tories/Labour that would send the country back to the polls, by refusing to accept a referendum on a reasonable election system.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: Electoral Reform - The UK Way (none / 1)

But being the smallest party there would be much less newspaper exposure for their point of view. both other parties would have pushed the idea that they pushed for their narrow political interest where the most important thing was the current financial situation. Not a good electoral position for a third party to be in.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
