REFORM THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM

Dear Member, The Parliamentary reform committee is far too slow and urgent attention needs to be given to bringing the system into the 21st Century. The number of London based members is excessive and should be replaced with a small Administrative Control appointed by the Prime Minister. There could then be Regional parliaments feeding up to London and a Second House of elected Mayors to examine and control legislation. Voting would be modernised with an on-line facility and public participation in debates would similarly be facilitated.

Why is this important?

The young must be re-engaged with Politics and this will only happen if they can participate and feel part of the system. This reform would lead to a feed up rather than feed down format. The excessive cost of 818 Lords could be considerably reduced and the 2nd House would be elected. The Prime Minister would be directly elected by the whole country and he would select his own cabinet. The concerns of the electorate would be better served by Regionally Elected Mp's who would be in closer contact with the electorate.

Slowly but surely the signatures grow. Recent events in Iraq show the value of a true Democracy but the way Politicians use the present system means we have been disenfranchised. There's no choice and no way the incumbents are going to change that willingly. So let's put some pressure on and vote to reform the electoral system
