Louder.org.uk Poll
NO PR WITHOUT OUR VOTE
This is NOT a question about the rights and wrongs of any proportional representation system. It is about the democratic principle of whether any party has the right to force through a PR system that has not been discussed and agreed to by the voters themselves.
I want a referendum before Proportional Representation is introduced 57.14 %
I think we should experiment with PR at the local level first 23.81 %
I think Parliament can do what it likes. They know best. 19.05 %

Connection is a Right - Sign the petition!
