THE TELEGRAPH: Protesters demanding proportional representation have picketed a building where Nick Clegg and his Liberal Democrat front-bench team were meeting.
Around 1,000 campaigners from pressure group 38 Degrees urged the party to fight for parliamentary reform.
They held up placards outside Local Government House which read: "Be brave - fair votes now" and "Be brave - demand PR".
A group of protesters, accompanied by a police escort, marched into Smith Square chanting "Fair votes now".
The demonstrators, mostly wearing purple, also waved placards and flags as the meeting of the Lib Dem parliamentary party continued inside Local Government House.
Senior Liberal Democrats today fully endorsed Nick Clegg's strategy on possible co-operation with the Conservatives, one of the party's negotiators said.
David Laws described the leader's talks with the parliamentary party and Lib Dem cabinet as "very positive and constructive". >>> | Saturday, May 08, 2010
