Be clear, Labour is playing fast and loose on AV reform Martin Kettle Comment is free The Guardian: "The accusation of gerrymandering is one of the most serious any party can make. It is tantamount to an accusation of electoral corruption. It makes the probity of the electoral system – and thus of the laws made by those who hold power under it – "A Public Issue". It is a step along a road which leads to the claim that those who govern under such a system have an illegitimate mandate, and so that those who are ruled need not be bound by their laws. To be sure, we have not reached that point yet. Even so, an accusation of gerrymandering is not something that should be made lightly."?

Judges, Michael McDowell and mandatory sentencing

Judges, Michael McDowell and mandatory sentencing: "Michael McDowell's "robust criticism of judges is healthy" and as an art-form should be welcomed. There is nothing inappropriate with a politician, even a Minister for Justice, criticising judges, even when, as in this instance, he is wrong. He is entitled to have a “go” at judges and there is nothing in what is known as the “separation of powers” which should in any way inhibit him. Michael McDowell is as entitled to criticise judges as the rest of us and the forthright manner in which he has done this is refreshing."
