06.10.2009 // by GuestThis idea comes from Russell in Amersham:
What's the big idea?:
Reduce the deposit required to stand for election from £5,000 to £500.
Why is this change important to you?:
Having such a high deposit means that during hard times (when the voice of the population most needs to be heard), the ability to stand for election to parliament is restricted to the affluent and to those with financial backing from the major political parties. This is undemocratic, and leads to the lack of choice which has weakened parliament for the last 12 years.
