Representation of the People Bill
"The government wants to clamp down on foreign money being donated to our political parties.
But they are refusing to act on unlimited donations from UK rich individuals and companies."

Despite more revelations about his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Mandelson can't be stripped of his peerage
The PM is calling on the House of Lords to modernise its rules to change this
But given the Lords’ attitude to reforming itself, we’re not going to hold our breath
The PM must take the lead & start FULL SCALE reform of the Lords.
Tinkering around with the disciplinary rules is not enough

First Past The Post voting has had its day.
Elections should grant everyone a vote that matters, but ours deprive most of us of a representative of our choosing.
With 5 parties polling strongly, our voting system is delivering chaos and turning elections into a lottery - where few people get what they want. It simply can't cope with the multi-party politics we have in the UK.

We have 5 years to make sure this is the last election distorted by First Past the Post.

A representative democracy must broadly reflect the interests and attitudes of its people. The outcome of Thursday's election has stretched the critical idea that we live in such a democracy to breaking point. Under the First Past the Post system, the governing party were awarded 63 percent of seats on only 33.8 percent of the votes cast. At the same time the 42.3 % of voters who voted for parties other than the 2 major parties were only granted 17.2 % of the seats. Because the most distorted election outcomes in history it will both damage people's trust in politics further and struggle to deliver the long term, strong and stable government the country needs. To change society we must change the system. If politicians are serious about addressing the crisis of trust in politics, this must be the last election distorted by First Past the Post.
