TIME TO BUILD A "STORM FOR REFORM"
Make this the last unjust election

At the last general election millions of people were denied an effective vote because of where they live, or what they believe. More than ever the result of the election was decided by the votes of a small minority of swing voters in a tiny number of marginal seats. In two thirds of the constituencies the winner was a foregone conclusion.

But there is a storm for reform building. With something like 62% of people supporting a more proportional electoral system that's something like three times the percentage of people who voted for the government on May 5th.

Whilst there are many MPs who support electoral reform the political will for democratic change will only come with genuine public pressure for afairer system. Across the country groups are forming to create just that pressure, and Cambridge is no exception.

On Wednesday 8th June, 7.45 for an 8 pm start at the Friends Meeting House on Jesus Lane a meeting has been called to build a high profile public launch of the campaign in Cambridge. Ben Rawlings from Make Votes Count will chair and Ken Ritchie from the Electoral Reform Society and Anne Campbell chair of Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform will be there.

There will be the chance for wide ranging discussion with a focus on how to build a really successful launch in this town to get the ball rolling for a more democratic Britain.
