Straw: ‘The worst kind of political skulduggery’
Shadow justice secretary Jack Straw, criticises the proposals for equalising constituency sizes, perceived to give the Conservatives an electoral advantage:
“If enacted, those proposals would represent the very antithesis of the high ideals that the deputy prime minister initially set out for his political reforms. They have nothing whatever to do with those high ideals. Instead, they represent the worst kind of political skulduggery for narrow party advantage.”
