This is a bit depressing.
Voter Power Index results for Blaydon: "The average UK voter has 1.1x more voting power than voters in Blaydon."
It does show the need for a reform of the electoral reform: my vote should have roughly equal weight to anyone else's, but it doesn't ... And folks, the only way to deal with this issue is to vote in such a way that a balanced parliament is more likely and/or the moral case for reform is more poignant; that's our best chance for proper reform.
Labour's offer of a referendum on AV is actually not going to help; in fact AV would be worse, potentially. What we need, at the very least, is AV+, better still STV in multimember constituencies. Accept no substitute!
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
