The electoral reform campaign group Vote for a Change has launched a widget for blogs and websites to put pressure on the government.

The widget counts down a 100 days to the Queen’s speech when electoral reform may be unveiled.

In a mailout to supporters yesterday they said:

In the States, a President’s first ‘100 Days’ is synonymous with change. It’s an opportunity to break with the past – to prove that politics and politicians are still capable of suprises.

Well if any country ever needed a break from the past then it’s Britain.

Today we start our countdown to our very own 100 Days. 100 Days to ensure that real voting reform makes it into the Queen’s Speech. This will be the first since the expenses crisis, the last of this parliament, and potentially the last by this government. This is their last chance.

In 100 days we’ll know if politicians are prepared to throw the rule book of politics in the bin, along with safe seats and jobs for life – by delivering a referendum on the voting system. They can either spend the time ahead confronting the crisis at Westminster head on, or waste it rearranging the deckchairs.

But today you can help spread the word with our countdown widget. Pop it on your site, on your blog, and get your readers to sign up.

You can get the widget (below) from this page.

Vote for a Change can also be found on Facebook and on Twitter.

Excellent widget and good luck to the campaign.

Unfortunately we have “one-man-one-vote” in this country and at the moment that one man is Gordon Brown, so who knows what will be decided over the next 100 days.
