Sign for change campaign is not waterproof
The Conservatives want us to join a campaign to force Gordon Brown to call for a general election. The ’sign for change’ campaign is clever but has a slight practical problem: anyone can sign the petition. You just need to write down an address in the UK. I just signed the petition myself and I do live in London but I am not eligible to vote in a general election in the UK. This means the whole world can manipulate the outcome of the petition.
If they don’t change this quickly the Conservatives can’t claim that a majority of the British public / voters signed for change.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t have an opinion about the politics in this country, I certainly do want Gordon Brown and his friends to pack their bags.
I guess because I pay tax here my vote for change does count a little…
