Brown to propose electoral reform

We learn that Gordon Brown is to unveil an alternative vote system to choose MPs to replace the first past the post method, but says there would have to be a referendum before any change could be made to the voting system.

Referendum? The country was promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, but that never happened. Call me cynical, but Westminster Goblin finds it increasingly more difficult to believe any promises this man makes on referenda will ever come to fruition. The general election will be held at the lastest by June 2010 and this will ensure that the major parties do not have to implement any referendum on electoral reform.
