Real Change Means Cleaning Up Politics for Good!
QUESTION TO REG SHORE BY VOTER
I live in the constituency you wish to represent in Parliament.
As a candidate in the election you are asking me to vote for you.
But I would first like to know if you understand the need for real change in this election. According to recent polling, there’s a possibility that the party that comes third in terms of share of the vote will actually have the largest number of seats in Parliament.
Whatever your party, I hope you agree that this is grossly unfair to voters and a perversion of our democracy. Our “winner takes all” system of first-past-the-post is broken. We need and demand change.
As a voter in your constituency, I want you to know that I will only support a candidate who will commit to a referendum on the introduction of a proportional voting system during the next Parliament.
Will you make that commitment?
Thank you.
ANSWER FROM REG SHORE
This is something that we Liberal Democrats have been fighting for, for years, and despite promises, Labour and the Conservatives have consistently gone back on their word.
It is an irony that even as the system they represent wakes up to the fact that the public demand change, they are still up to their old tricks of smear and attack.
Their system is sorely wounded and they still do not get it!.
This is a very selfish form of Government that cares more about getting elected than the people or the principles that will put them there.
As a Liberal Democrat, you have my solemn word that I will work to make your request a reality.
Very best regards,
Reg Shore
