I’ve voted for fair votes

The interesting site Power 2010 is addressing the mess that is our current political state with a simple vote on a number of measures to improve our democracy. See Power2010    Everyone is allowed to vote for 5 ideas.

I have voted for

1. Proportional Votes – our parliament must look and feel like our society

2. More power to the Local level –  government should serve communities not dictate to them

3. Fixed Term Parliaments – it is a nonsense that the PM can play fast and loose with the election date

4. An elected 2nd chamber – get rid of this absurd system of patronage and exclusivity

5. Political lessons in schools – our young people should be engaged in political choice and have a full understanding of how our society works. It is absurd that these ideas are not taught in school.
