Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Scottish Elections 2007.
Scottish Elections 2007
When a public opinion research company was commissioned to do research into the Scottish Parliament ballot paper, it found that"““the rejection rate of 4 per cent. was significant as this was close to the actual rejection rate in the 3 May election.””" Following that report, the Electoral Commission recommended to the Secretary of State's predecessor that further consideration be given to combining both votes on one ballot paper. Why did the Secretary of State's predecessor reject that advice? Was it because he had already decided that, for party political advantage, he wanted a ballot paper with that design?
