Voter Power Index

In the UK, the only voters with any real power to choose the government are those who live in marginal constituencies. Less than 20% of constituencies can be considered marginal. The rest of us have little or no power to influence the outcome of the election.

Visit http://www.voterpower.org.uk to find out how powerful your vote is.

The state of politics is appalling these days, we need to have a zero tolerance stance on corruption.

So in 2005, less than half of all voters voted for their winning MP? So much for representation and the MP-constituent link.

Check out - Collapse, an interview with Michael Ruppert - it will inform you of what really is going on, about 100 times better, more accurate and possitive than zeitgeist

[TheOmegaOfTheAlpha]

This is why The Zeitgeist Movement understands the problems this unfairness creates, look into it.

@TonyTheGeek1 The Liberal Democrats have been trying for nearly 100 years to reform the system. in 1918 the Liberal party put forward proportional representation, it was voted through by our representatives in the commons but was chucked out by the conservative dominated Lords. We wont let the Tories stop us this time, the Liberal Democrats will get you electoral reform.

@thelevellers

don't give up, if you spoil your ballot then you only let the system win. vote despite the unfairness of the system, the more people who do that the better our chances of changing it.

[GeorgeP1066]

This is why everyone should vote for a party that support electoral reform. So far the LibDems seem to be the only people genuinely committed to a fair voting system.

Wow! The way this video beautifully conveys the shocking inadequacies of our current electoral system and makes the argument for change with such clarity in such a short amount of time and in such an engaging way is truly a fantastic achievement. And the website's pretty good too!

Also, I really, really like the music, what is it called and is it on iTunes, Amazon, etc.?

Anyway, well done! :)
