UK: Big 'hung parliament' voter initiative to push parties for real change

2010-04-14 | As the latest Populus and ComRes opinion polls indicate a narrowing election lead for the Tories, campaigners for political reform are launching a bold "Hang 'Em - until they change" initiative.

The ground-up e-politics venture, officially launched tomorrow, "can play a genuine role in shaping the outcome on 6 May and beyond", say its initiators - both individuals and organisations.

The Hang 'Em website ( http://hang-em.com ) went live this morning - 14 April 2010 - with more details and key supporters due to be revealed later tonight and tomorrow.

"The idea is simple," say the organisations behind the campaign - which include openDemocracy, the thinktank Ekklesia, Charter 2010 and Progressive Parliament. "Hang ‘Em is a way to join together across the country to vote for candidates who will hang parliament. We have got to renew democracy in Britain. They won‘t, so hang ‘em until they do."
