Over one thousand protesters gather outside Lib Dem meeting
One of the organisers of the protest had addressed the crowd, numbering about 1,000, saying they call on Nick Clegg or a member of his team to come out and accept a petition, signed by thousands, calling for voting reform. And then police wanted them to move on from the square.

With placards saying “fair votes now”, many wearing purple – the traditional colour of campaigns for the suffrage who throughout the years have struggled to deepen democracy, have unexpectedly arrived outside the venue for the Lib Dem meeting. Their loud chanting could possibly be heard inside the Lib Dem meeting.
They shout “we want to see Nick” which come out and took the signed petitions while addressed the Proportional Representation demo.
This is without doubt the first Proportional Representation demo of many if there is not change.
