Sam Hearn, a Conservative councillor writes: "Last time we polled 28% of the votes caste (Labour just over 50%). We ended up after a by-election with just 17% of the councillors (Labour 83%). Our voice of plain common sense needs and deserves to be heard in the Borough Council" This statistic clearly shows the need for Proportional Representation (PR) to replace the First Past The Post (FPTP) voting system and yet both Labour and Conservatives oppose PR and the current Government is even talking about getting rid of the small proportional system we have for electing The London Mayor and Greater London Assemby members. On the wider issue discussed on this thread - if neither Labour nor Conservatives rock your vote, then consider voting for Planet Earth and voting Green Party in the coming local elections! |
