Brown sleeps while democracy suffers
It is nice to know that a better night's sleep for our Prime Minister and his new chief-of-staff is rated as more important than checking whether voters are happy with the way politics is operating and how their representatives are elected.
This from the Sunday Herald:
Parking any Commons decision on the introduction of ID cards until after the next election, which was quietly leaked last week, means Carter's in-tray looks better than it did. Brown's chief of staff will also be sleeping better knowing that reform of elections to the Commons has also been kicked into the long grass, with any review of electoral systems now placed beyond 2010.

Electoral reformers will have to make so much noise about reforming the present inefficient and unfair voting system that the PM & co don't get much sleep.

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.
