This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition One shareholder one vote in all company ballots
More details
Currently shareholders vote in proportion to the number of shares they hold and do not have equality of voting rights at AGM's.
This means that large shareholders such as corporations, pension funds and the very rich have too great an influence over the salary and bonuses of directors. This applies particularly in the banking sector.
One share holder/ one vote would be an easy way to control the excessive salaries of bankers.
