Does the UK need another political party?Way back, I was a founder member of the SDP, which was formed when four very high profile and experienced MPs left the Labour Party. We worked tremendously hard, knocking on doors, signing people up etc. Where is the SDP now? For that matter, the Liberal Democrat’s are not exactly doing well and, despite the need for a Green Agenda, the Green Party can’t get much traction. In my view, we would be better served by politicians jointly working to reform the voting system. People might recall when proportional representation was last debated and voted on. The media made it into some kind of joke, making it seem complicated and silly. I don’t know why. Just think, if we had vote for Proportional Representation then, we wouldn’t be in the horrendous mess we are in now. So my conclusions is that we need a new voting system, not a new party.
