I have thought ever since Chairman Brown came up with the idea of a debate regarding electoral reform that it was a ruse for him to try to save his and Labour’s arses at any potential General Election.
Electoral Reform is one of the Liberal Democrats main projects, for what seems to have been an eternity – the thinking that if Brown was to get some sort of reform up and running before any election, that in the likelihood of a hung parliament that he could squeeze in with the Lib Dems in some form of so-called Liberal Coalition.
Because let’s be blunt here. If Labour was on course for another hundred-plus majority would the party be any more interested in electoral reform than it was when Roy Jenkins' Royal Commission reported back in 1998? Of course not.
