Clegg announces welcome political reforms says Simon Hughes
Mon, 05 Jul 2010
"Nick Clegg today announced a welcome and major series of progressive political reforms," said the Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader.
Commenting on today’s announcement of a referendum on AV, Simon Hughes said:
“After 13 years of Labour inaction, Nick Clegg today announced a welcome and major series of progressive political reforms.
“The coalition Government has decided in one move to give all voters a much greater say in who is chosen to represent them and to give Parliament a much greater say in the business of Government.
“With an easier and more up to date electoral register in the future, the whole of Britain will have a much more representative democracy. We will also end the scandal where votes have been of unequal value and in many places of no value at all – and where many people have scandalously not even been allowed to vote.”
