🗳️ ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE

Cllr Thomas Dyer and Lincoln Conservatives are calling on the Labour leader of the City of Lincoln Council to withdraw her proposed warding arrangements for the new Lincoln unitary authority.

The proposals submitted to Government by Cllr Tweddle would create significant differences in the level of democratic representation across the proposed authority.

Under the Labour proposal, a councillor representing Minster ward in the City would represent approximately 1,849 residents, while a councillor representing Witham St Hughs would represent approximately 4,354 residents.

👉 In other words, residents in some communities would have substantially greater democratic representation than residents elsewhere.

We recognise that perfect electoral equality is not possible. But democratic representation should be determined by the number of people, rather than socio-economic factors such as levels of deprivation.

📖 The Boundary Commission’s guidance is clear: where electors in some parts of a council area are under-represented, their influence over council decisions is diminished.

Cllr Thomas Dyer and Lincoln Conservatives believe the principle should be simple:

One person, one vote.

🗣️ Cllr Thomas Dyer said:

“The practical effect of the Labour Party approach is that some communities would enjoy significantly greater representation than others. I believe that this undermines the fundamental democratic principle that each person’s vote should carry broadly equal weight.”

📢 We are therefore calling on the Leader of the City Council to:

• Withdraw the letter submitted to Government on 17 August.

• Support the alternative warding proposal prepared by the council’s Senior Responsible Officer, which is based on electoral equality.

• Work constructively with the other councils across Lincolnshire to secure a fair and balanced outcome for residents.

Every resident of the new Lincoln unitary authority deserves broadly equal democratic representation, regardless of where they live.

🗳️ One person. One vote. Equal representation.
