This election campaign has seen repeated promises of “change” and a “new politics” from politicians keen to show they understand the public’s anger at a corrupt and broken political system.

But unless we make clear we are serious about the need for reform, politicians will assume they can get back to the same old politics.

No matter what the colour of your political stripes, the current system is a democratic travesty and can’t continue.

GATHER SATURDAY 2PM IN GEORGE SQ, GLASGOW TO DEMAND REFORM AND A FAIR VOTING SYSTEM

There will be simultaneous demonstrations in Parliament Sq and across the UK

This must be the last election under our broken system.

A large coalition of organisations, from environmental groups to the labour movement, to faith groups and community activists, are joining the call for change.

Meet at 2pm in George Sq, wear purple - the traditional colour of campaigns for the suffrage who throughout the years have struggled to deepen democracy. Now it's our turn.

Invite your friends to attend the rally - if enough of us get involved the demand for change will be irresistible!

The people need to be at the head of any initiative for democratic reform. We must decide what proposals should be considered to change the voting system through a Citizens Convention, and we must be allowed to decide whether to adopt them in a referendum.
