URGENT NEED FOR VOTING REFORM
DID YOU KNOW ---?
In the 2005 election:
22% voted Labour
20% voted Conservative
14% voted Lib.Dem.
5% voted for other parties
- but 39% did not vote at all
DID YOU KNOW ---?
Labour received only 3% more votes that the Conservatives - but they have 159 more seats !
DID YOU KNOW ---?
There is one Labour MP for every 27,000 Labour voters - BUT
- it took 45,000 votes to elect a Conservative MP
- it took 100,000 to elect a Liberal Democrat MP !
