The PM and the Power Report
Press Briefing this morning:
Asked what the Prime Minister's view was about the Power Report, the PMOS said that there were many issues dealt within the Power Report. They were all matters that were debated as much within Parties as between Parties. People took different views about some of the issues contained in them. The Prime Minister had no doubt that the report would add to that debate.
Pick those jaws up off the floor people.

The Power Report seem to totally overlook the fact that there is no democracy in England until the West Lothian Question is answered, and no amount of PR, changing of constitutional boundaries, greater electoral turnout or Lords reform is going to change that.
I'm shocked and disappointed that they didn't address it.

I'm flying into London to attend the conference on March 25 for a book I'm writing on proportional representation and how it may solve many of the problems in the U.S. electoral system.
Any advice? This'll be my first time in London.

We're democrats and believe in free speech, but we're also committed to civil and rational debate. We reserve the right to delete material posted to our site, but we hope and expect to exercise this right rarely if at all.
