MPs to decide on AV system
A new PoliticsHome poll suggests that the public is divided on the need for a change to the voting system, but is overwhelmingly cynical about the government's motives for proposing it. MPs are to vote this afternoon on Gordon Brown's plan for a referendum on changing to the AV system.

This is just diversionary tactics designed to put the Tories on the backfoot. All it is doing is wasting important parliamentary time, which could be better put to genuinely important legislation. This is just typical of New Labour wasting time and our money. Debate things that are important to the electorate as whole like pulling our troops out of Afghanistan or even better a No confidence vote in this inept cynical Administration.

gordo is just trying to fill in time so they are seen to be doing something ! What would the effect of nothing happening in the house have ? Call the election if you haven't got anything useful to do I suspect. Or even worse another mad hattie policy on equlity god help us .
George Woodhouse
We are not just cynical of the government's motives. Just changing the voting system will do little to improve the democratic process in the UK and the EU

it might be tactical, but the consequences could be good for Britain.

Really? How so? If Labour somehow win, they'll kill it off at the first opportunity, if the Conservatives win, they will too (which at least has the value of being a consistently held position). If there's a hung Parliament, the Lib Dems will demand a far wider referendum on electoral reform to include their own preferred Proportional Representation as their price for coalition. It's a blindingly stupid smoke screen tactic from Brown, without any moral, ethical, or constitutional value.
Johnny Norfolk
It will never become law. The Tories will win the election and that will be the end of it thank goodness. With so much needing attention fancy wasting time on this. tells you all you need to know about Labour.
