I've recently taken part in DEMREF 2010, a non-party election web initiative that allows voters to compare the reform policies of their candidates - on fixed-term parliaments, free voting, the electoral system, open primaries, the voting age, recalling MPs and House of Lords reform. There is also space for candidates to put forward our own additional preferred reforms.
Following the expenses scandal that has seriously damaged public trust, voters want to know where we all stand on reforming politics. So it's interesting that neither the Conservative nor the Labour candidate for North East Cambridgeshire appears - so far, at least - to have taken part in DEMREF 2010. Will they now do so, so that the voters of North East Cambridgeshire can scrutinise our views and make an informed choice about which of us has the best policies for cleaning up politics?
