Bring it on, I'm in favour in principle, but at the moment I suspect a lot of people would vote based on their 'knowledge' from the media and that is far from having the full facts.

You of all people should know this given your background.
More likely that the politicians would vote as per their party diktat and whips required them to.
Can you honestly say that politicians are more open than the media? - just listen to any interview on TV or radio with a politician and see if a question put to them is truly answered, in fact is it answered at all?
