Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2025

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend agree that the Conservatives have some nerve talking about top-down reorganisation when, against people’s wishes—as expressed in a poll—they imposed an unwanted and unpopular unitary council on the whole of Somerset? Does she also agree that the Bill should introduce fair votes, in this place and in councils across the country, to restore faith in democracy and politics?
