“A revolution in the way Britain does politics has begun in Devon. Tory MPs should be afraid”
by George Monbiot in the Guardian @TheGuardian_uk
“This is what democracy looks like: hundreds of people queueing in the rain, seeking to take back control of a political system that treats voters like an afterthought. Last weekend, a remarkable democratic experiment reached its first conclusion. A process that began here in South Devon and is now spreading to other constituencies has allowed voters to reclaim the initiative from centralised and self-interested political parties. It directly confronts our unfair electoral system.”
