Last day to vote against SOCPA

emma | 30.12.2006 12:27 | SOCPA

Vote to repeal the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 which bans unauthorised protest near Parliament.

The Today programme on BBC Radio 4 are running a 'Christmas Repeal' feature. They asked the public to nominate laws which they think should be scrapped. A panel shortlisted 5 laws and the Today progamme put in The Hunting Act 2004 because so many had nominated it.

This probably means that the Hunting Act is likely to win (thanks to the BBC!!) but it would be great to get loads of votes for SOCPA as well.

You can vote online via:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/

or simply phone in on 0901 5221002 to repeal the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (costs 15p).

I can't believe people waste their time with these stupid online votes and petitions. All you do is give credence to the poll and yet you know they have no credibility since they are based on a tiny sample of self selected participants and are won by those with the greatest ability to mobilize voters ie. those with the greatest resources in terms of access to the media, time, advertising, money etc. They are also easy to cheat and misrepresent - especially if you are running them.




vote nobody
