Fiona Bruce MP made Patron of Fair Votes for All campaign

Fiona Bruce MP made Patron of Fair Votes for All campaign

The Fair Votes for All campaign has welcomed Fiona Bruce, Member of Parliament for Congleton, as a Patron. This campaign is calling for English votes for English issues to be introduced into the House of Commons as soon as possible.

Fiona commented, “I am delighted to become a Patron of the Fair Votes for All campaign. This is a matter of fairness for people in my constituency whose voice in Parliament is currently diluted by Scottish MPs. With more powers being devolved to Scotland following the independence referendum last year, it is not fair that Scottish MPs continue to determine issues that do not affect their constituents. We should be able to decide our own priorities in our classrooms and in our NHS. I am determined to sort this out and, to this end, have placed a petition in my Congleton Office which I invite interested constituents to sign.”  


Graham Stuart MP, Chairman of the Fair Votes for All campaign, said, “I am glad to welcome Fiona Bruce MP as a Patron of the campaign. Fiona is a fantastic local representative who is standing up for the Congleton Constituency. As more powers are handed over to the Scottish Parliament, this basic constitutional unfairness cannot be ignored any longer.”
