Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Political and Constitutional Reform.
Political and Constitutional Reform
That is not the suggestion being made. We all know that voting reform—changing the voting system—is a big deal in here but of very scant interest to the vast majority of our voters. What is the justification for artificially inflating turnout by coinciding the referendum with other elections, when the right hon. Gentleman has yet to receive any formal advice on that topic from the Electoral Commission?
