Lib Dems on electoral reform and the Power 2010 campaign
Further information on the Power 2010, how you can get involved and sign the pledge yourself can be found at www.power2010.org
To reform our electoral system and clean up politics in Britain, Liberal Democrats will:
Introduce a proportional voting system
- Liberal Democrats will change politics forever and end safe seats by introducing a fair, more proportional voting system for MPs, and for the House of Lords. By giving voters the choice between people as well as parties, it means they can stick with a party but punish a bad MP by voting for someone else.
Scrap ID cards and roll back the database state
- Liberal Democrats would scrap ID cards. Getting rid of this illiberal, expensive and ineffective scheme, will free up money for thousands more police on our streets. We will also get innocent people off the DNA Database and scrap the intrusive ContactPoint database which will hold the details of every child in England.
Replace the House of Lords with an elected chamber
- Liberal Democrats will replace it with a fully elected second chamber with considerably fewer members than the current House.
Draw up a written constitution
- Liberal Democrats believe that people should have the power to determine this constitution in a convention made up of members of the public and parliamentarians of all parties, and subject to final approval in a referendum.
