UK – Democracy in name only.

Even under UKIP we had pontification about postal fraud, the only problem is that because we cannot trust our own Electoral Commission to police the system, or the Police for that matter we have to get an outside body such as ODHIR to monitor all our elections, including the leaflets. Our system is post facto and the other party must complain and take to court one side without expert help and the required up to several hundred thousand pounds per offence in fees and costs. Even if they do and succeed, it matters not since a political party can just stand again with another candidate. Electoral reform must be the number 1 Brexit manifesto item, or its all off.

You cant have Brexit without Electoral reform so it has to go into the manifesto and not just be a topic on LBC. And to have electoal reform, those that propose it, must be prepared to never see power again, that is under PR, one year terms, single year candidacy, rotas for the top roles, random candidacy option instead of vote spoiling or Ron and restricted voting to polling stations with ID. With much else which is required to become a Democracy, not one in name only.
