Well.... in principle I would agree. It would though, give those parties with not much chance of winning, leave to promise the earth without the prospect of ever having to deliver, while the more mainstream parties, those with a hope of winning, would be bound by their manifesto to deliver whether or not it was in the best interests of the people. It might be something do-able pre-election and for a myriad of reasons, out of the question, post-election.

Also, the man who rang in, never votes. But here he is having a say. Sounds daft to me.
