Letter: Changing the voting system would be a disaster

Letter: It really troubles me greatly that people like Colin Firth and members of the Electoral Reform Society are campaigning for a change to the voting system.

This extraordinary waste of money - potentially costing over £200 million if approved - would be disastrous for our country.

At a time when as MPs we are facing serious concerns from constituents about the prospect of school closures, reconfiguration of hospital services cuts to local services helping the disabled it is a tragedy that all these people can think about is spending on changing the voting system.

They are all obviously so detached from the reality and hardship of many hard working people that they think it appropriate to waste this money.

Shame on them.
