Rejected petition Introduce laws to encourage the formation and success of new political parties

More details

Parliament should imaginatively promote democracy by using the law to encourage the formation and success of new parties.

It should seek to ensure that this decade is one in which we see the election in large numbers of people who represent alternative opinion from the existing political parties.

This need not be done by a change in the electoral system. We have already had a referendum on that matter. But to enhance democracy it should be pursued by all other possible means.
