Brown Pinches UKIP Policy
Grodon Brown has committed Labour to holding a referendum on voting reform soon after the next election if they win.
In his conference speech, Mr Brown said Labour would hold a referendum “early” in the next Parliament on proposals for an alternative vote system.Under this, voters rank candidates in order with the bottom candidate’s second preferences transferred in each round until someone gets 50% of votes.
What is interesting is this is UKIP policy, published over a year ago. See section 3.5 of our constitutional policy paper here. Nice to see talk of sensible voting reform being talked about, though the probability of Labour winning the election is less than finding rocking horse droppings!
He has also pinched BNP policy as well…
A plan to house 16 and 17-year-old single parents in state-run shared houses rather than council flats
What else is he going to pinch?

It is nice to find that Labour is pinching our policies. When this starts to happen it shows that UKIP is on the right track.
I only wish he had pinched the one about having a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. That would have been really nice.
Because I want a referendum on the new EU Treaty.
