Coogan and Vorderman back Liberal Democrats' electoral reform pledge
Labour are the ones to convince. LD doesn’t have the power to bring it to fruition.
Didn’t they play this game when Nick Clegg ran the party? After which they gave up on it as soon as they entered into a coalition with the Tories?
They held the balance of power and could’ve made it the core demand of entering the coalition. I do take the point that there was a referendum about it, I forgot that happened.

They were very much the Junior partner & wholly nonsensical & unrealistic expectations never help. They did a terrific job of holding back the worst excesses of the Tories for 5 years. We saw what happened when their restraining hand was no longer on the tiller. They were entitled to expect some respect & understanding & support from the electorate, but the electorate were too stupid and/or uninformed to realise what was actually happening & had actually happened in that 5 years.
