DANNY ALEXANDER’S EMAIL PROVES THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS ARE LEADING THE WAY ON WESTMINSTER REFORM

Earlier today I received an important email from Danny Alexander MP the Chief of Staff to Nick Clegg; which I thought that you might like to read – this email shows that the Liberal Democrats are leading the way on Westminster Reform, and they are committed to changing the status quo.

Dear Steve,

Nick Clegg has had a great few weeks taking a strong stand on cleaning up Parliament and leading the call for a complete overhaul of our political system. Last week at Prime Minister’s Question Time he challenged Gordon Brown to reform our electoral systems. Now even Brown’s own ministers are echoing Nick’s call. I hope that you have been able to see the lead article in today’s Guardian which sets out a 100-day plan to reform government.

Tonight we will be screening a brand new Party Election Broadcast recorded this week in which Nick deals with these issues - you can

watch it online now. He will be making the case to:

• Give people the right to sack MPs


• Stop all big party political donations


• Elect the House of Lords


• Make the voting system fair - so that governments can’t just get all that power and all that money with only a minority of you voting for them


• Put an end to self serving politics and put you back in charge

But Nick can’t do it all on his own. He needs our help. We need to demonstrate that at long last there is a groundswell for real reform of our broken system. If you want to see British politics changed in this way then you can visit our new campaign site

www.TakeBackPower.org and sign Nick’s petition.

But don’t stop there. I’m sure we all know friends and family who have been appalled by the recent expenses scandal. Why not show them we are different? Email the

www.TakeBackPower.org web address on to five other people and help Nick change politics for good.

Best wishes,

Danny Alexander MP, (Chief of Staff to Nick Clegg)
