You’d think that Lord Falconer would be keeping his head down for a while after that little embarassment over the Iraq legal advice. But no, he’s on Today this morning saying that he sees no “groundswell” of support for a change in the voting system. Well I don’t know who he’s been talking to, but from where I’m standing, political discussion has been about little else for the last two weeks.
So much for the “listening government”. Though as Nik points out Blair didn’t actually say what we all thought he had said.
Update: The stream for the program is here (for the next seven days). The piece on electoral reform followed by the interview with Falconer is about 1:32 into the stream.
