In the future the public will make the decisions, civil servants will act them out, and MPs merely set forth the arguments. As always, you decide. Voting is taking place across the country.

Labour has for more than a decade used the firm Unity Security Balloting to conduct its elections. The SQL database applications are Windows 2000-based.

It was one of the series of state elections which decides who will run for US president, open to voters registered as Democrat supporters.
