How long before it's back to the ballot box?
It's usually taken for granted that any substantial reform to the voting system would require a referendum.
If the general election does lead to a government which backs significant change - whether that is a Labour or Liberal Democrat government or some sort of Labour/Lib Dem partnership - we could all find ourselves going back to the ballot boxes in a year or two.
