[Margaret Pilkington]

I am sure I heard the Liberal democrat who brokered some of the deals between the two parties say that the country would get a referendum on Electoral reform.

Now I guess that would make a difference.....unless of course they couched the questions so that the responses could be interpreted anywhich way e.g.Do you want Electoral Reform?....and not specify what the electoral reform consisted of.
Being of a very cynical bent I wouldn't put it past them(the politicos).
