A campaign group which has accused Shipley MP Philip Davies as being among six MPs who are “failing our democracy” has rejected his call for a debate.
Instead, Power2010 has offered to hold a hustings with all the Shipley candidates to discuss the issues over which it claims Mr Davies is blocking democratic reform and attacking civil liberties.
Its poster campaign against the six MPs came after 100,000 people voted how they wanted to see politics reformed, which appeared in a Power Pledge.
The list included introducing a proportionate voting system, scrapping ID cards and rolling back the ‘database state’, replacing the House of Lords with an elected chamber and allowing only English MPs to vote on English laws.
