Co Sign our Letter for change

Dear Dear Gordon, David and Nick, At a time when our public services face severe cuts, people are losing their jobs and homes and struggling to repay their mortgages, it has been galling to see MPs squabbling over their second homes and the right to give jobs to their nearest and dearest. Today many in Westminster are trumpeting the Kelly review as the solution to the crisis in Britain’s politics and urging us all to “move on”. But the public outrage over MPs’ expenses is just a symptom of a much larger failure of politics in this country to connect to the fears, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. Although welcome, the Kelly report does not address this root cause. Time after time our politicians have shown that they are neither able nor willing to clean up politics and renew our democracy. The fact that MPs cannot be trusted to have a vote on the Kelly recommendations says it all. Tomorrow, the same failed system shall still stand. It’s now time to give the people a genuine say about how our democracy should change. There’s no shortage of good ideas for rebuilding our broken politics. Power2010 has already had more than 2000 ideas submitted by members of the public on how they think our democracy should change at www.power2010.org.uk. At the next election we will be working to ensure every candidate from each of your parties is asked to make a public commitment – a pledge – to clean up and reform politics in Britain. Now more than ever, it's clear that if we want to bring democratic reform to the UK, it's up to us to make it happen. All those who are tired of the same old Westminster politics are urged to sign this letter as well – together we will change politics. For good. Best wishes, Pam Giddy Power2010
