Democracy campaigners were celebrating yesterday as their tireless five-month on-and-off occupation of Parliament Square drew to a close.

Occupy Democracy activists assembled outside Parliament for an electoral party with a twist — it cheered for neither blue nor red.

“A Labour-led government will be preferable to a Conservative-led one, but neither one represents a real choice for the British people,” said Occupy Democracy spokesman Phil England.

“Even if we end up with a Labour-led coalition after all the dust has settled on this car crash of an election, we will still need a revolution in the way our democracy is run to kick out the overbearing influence of the corporations before it starts to function in the best interests of people and planet.”

With exit polls indicating Labour and the Conservatives straining neck and neck, Mr England believed many would feel “angry” and “fed up with the fact that their voting preference doesn’t translate into political power.”

The group called for electoral reform after new figures showed 75 per cent of the British population preferred proportional voting over “the

archaic first-past-the-post system.”

Speaking at the Occupy Democracy rally on election night, writer Adam Ramsay said: “Whatever the result today, this election has made it clearer than ever that our democratic processes are not fit for the 21st century.

“After the election, we need to demand a complete review of the rules of our democracy — a people’s constitutional convention, so that next time around, we don’t end up in a mess.

“As the rules stand, it’s clear that if a majority of MPs come from parties promising to sack Cameron — Labour, the SNP, Plaid Cymru, the SDLP and the Greens, he is expected to resign, straight away, no silly games.”

Calling for a rally at 3pm outside the Tory HQ the London Black Revolutionaries and the Brick Lane Debates said on Facebook: “When no-one represents us, we must take to the streets.”
