Mandate? What mandate?


Does your MP have a real mandate? The odds are 2:1 that (s)he doesn't!

In the 2010 general election, only 216 MPs (33.23% of them) received more than half the votes in their constituencies. As many as 434 (66.77%) received fewer than half the votes. Source & more details: http://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/news.php?ex=0&nid=478.

If you agree that's undemocratic, you can help put it right by voting "YES" in the referendum on 5 May 2011. The referendum is to change the voting system to a "choice voting" system that will ensure that every MP is elected by at least half the votes.
