Take Back Parliament

About This Campaign

How should we approach the AV referendum?

Andy May: Before we met with Nick Clegg this week we wanted to hear what the purple people had to say on the government plans for a referendum. We set up a poll on a PR-supporting Facebook group to find out what people think.

The long term aim of this campaign is a fair proportional voting system for the House of Commons.

However there are also steps on the road, one of which might involve campaigning for less radical voting reform.

We feel the decision on what the campaign’s response is to the referendum on the Alternative Vote (not a proportional system) is not ours to take alone but must be driven by the volunteers and supporters within Take Back Parliament.
