UK General Election

Forget the Tories, Is It Time to Reform the Electorate?

Churchill’s old maxim, “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter” certainly has an element of truth to it; and perhaps more so, if the voter in question happens to live in Wellingborough.
