I wonder if one of the MBs political experts, perhaps Dunnem, has a theory as to why 2/3s of people would vote against reform?
I don't really do politics.

Can't even remember what the reform was but it was really mild and nowhere near the full on PR we need.

Problem is Labour and tories will always campaign for the status quo. We need to get Niggle Furrage back to support this.

Unfortunately the Politicians have to work with what they have got. EG: the Electorate. Most of the Electorate want the Promised Land, whilst paying zero for it. Mrs Thatcher tapped into this & quickly sold off all the profit making Nationalised Industries ( BT, British Gas, Thomas Cook, Electric Companies etc ), mostly to their very rich mates. She used the money raised to ease taxes. Now the Governments don't have this revenue stream. We to a certain extent are stuffed. People need to wise up if they want their progeny to have a lovely Country, they are eventually gonna have to fork out. You don't get owt for nought

I was talking about Ordinary people ( the Electorate ), not Tory chums.
