MPs Have Let Us Down. We Need To Vote For Change NOW!!!

I'm posting this again because the campaign ends on Friday 18th December and so you really need to vote now if you think it's time for change. You only need to give your postcode and email address which won't be used for marketing, and it will take you less than a minute. Every vote counts.

We've all heard about the Ration Books and Duck Islands. The only way we're going to make politicans understand their responsibilities to the people they represent is to make them more accountable at elections. It's time to kick out the antiquated First-Past-the-Post voting system that has allowed them to get away with so much and bring in a new style of elections where every single vote counts.

The way we vote has set the rules for politics. It's left our MPs free to enjoy jobs for life in safe seats. It's handed our governments massive majorities without any real mandate. And it's left us, the voters, weak.

We've all seen what happens when you leave politicians to their own devices (false expense claims - ring any bells?). Real change is needed, but just like the bankers, we can't expect MPs to deliver when the old rules suit them so well.

At the next election we need the chance to cast our vote not just for a new parliament, but for a new kind of politics. We should demand a referendum on a new voting system that really put voters back in the driving seat.

Politics is too important to be left to the politicians.

Following the launch of the new Paddy Power Poker VIP program which allows you to cash in your points for a bonus any time you like, and as many times as you like, I have started playing poker more at Paddy Power than Virgin (where I still play, but now not as much), I would like to challenge the brave to come and play against me either in a single table Sit and Go or in a game or two of Heads Up. This challenge is laid down for you at Paddy Power Poker where I play under the user name ric161220. Either search for me on the site or get in touch and we'll arrange a time of mutual interest. This is a challenge set out for the brave only and all those worried about losing should probably stay away. The challenge is on. I dare you!
