Back to Balls

This week we sent a message to David Cameron asking him how serious he was about Change. And it seems we were not alone.

Newsnight reported this week that our old rogue Schools Secretary Ed Balls is playing politics with reform, and his motives have little to do with actually fixing our broken parliament.

Balls seems intent on setting up voting reform as this parliament’s sacrificial lamb, for the Conservatives kill on queue.

But if Balls wants to prove a point about the Tories and their “Change” credentials they can’t forget about their own. Cameron would be wise to remember that his blocking of the bill has already been written into the script.

He needn’t play the role of Balls’ pantomime villain. Both Labour and Conservatives have an opportunity to make history. But first they’ll have to leave the cynicism at the door.

Well we’ve got a surprise for dear Ed. We’re asking our supporters to help redecorate the serial flipper's Normanton constituency. And you can help chose the colour scheme.

We're putting up a billboard in Balls' Normanton seat, telling him exactly what we think of his opposition to a referendum. And we need your help to come up with a slogan for it.

Any and all brilliant ideas welcome. Remember, we’re being cruel to be kind!
