Green Party

On Monday, thousands of Norwich residents will be leafleted by an independent campaign group asking them to vote for democratic reform.

Power2010 - which is not aligned to any Party - is dropping 600,000 leaflets nationwide urging voters to consider their candidates' positions on the crucial issue of electoral reform before casting their vote. The campaigners will be targeting local constituency Norwich South on Monday 3rd of May, where 15,000 leaflets will be dropped urging voters to choose the candidate who will do the most for democratic reform if elected.

Power 2010 calls for five measures including introducing a proportional voting system, scrapping ID cards, making the House of Lords fully elected, putting an end to the West Lothian problem and drawing up a written constitution. These proposals were democratically narrowed down from more than 4,000 suggestions put forward by the public and so represent the most pressing reforms needed to restore trust in UK politics. Charles Clarke, the former MP for Norwich South, does not support the campaign, and implemented the ID card scheme when he was Home Secretary.

Adrian Ramsay, Green Party candidate for Norwich South, said: “I fully support Power2010's campaign, and the move towards a fairer democracy. In Norwich South we're lucky because it's a closely fought race and every vote will count, but we need a political system where people have a real say in every part of the country. It's a scandal that only the 200,000 votes in marginal seats really counted in the last election – that’s less than 0.5% of those eligible to vote. We need to make everyone’s vote count, and then people will become more politically motivated.

“I have also been very vocal in my opposition to ID cards, as it is estimated that we can save £2.5bn a year by not having ID cards and the database attached to them. It is clear that they are an unnecessary invasion of our privacy and will do nothing to prevent crime and terrorism.

"We must also urgently replace the House of Lords with an elected upper chamber. Party appointments to the upper house, with the associated allegations about being buying seats, has no place in a twenty-first century democracy."
