Andy Burnham has announced a National Commission on Electoral Reform. The voting system is the heart of our democracy: this will be a vital debate. The Constitution Unit will work to ensure it’s an informed debate. Look out for our project launching next week examining the options and their effects.
![[Scene is a BEACH. A man is sat eating chips on a blanket - or rather he is trying to, but a terrifying, haunted-eyed SEAGULL is stood next to him, staring intently]
SEAGULL:
Well well well.
You must be one of these ‘Starers’.
[Show man trying to stare the seagull out]
SEAGULL:
Read an article in the Guardian did ya? ‘Stare seagulls out to save your chips’...
Come on then.
Look into my eyes.
[We see his cold, terrifying, haunted eyes in close up]
Can you see the darkness?
The things I’ve seen?
[Hypnotic waves are coming out of his eyes now]
The things I’ve... eaten...?
Frozen shit from a sewage pipe off the coast of Sussex…
The still-pulsing intestines from a badger by the A602…
Thaaat’s it
Look into the truth
The truth you’ve always known.
I am a seagull.
I am harder than you.
And I am having your chips.

SEAGULL [Eating chips]:
Nom nom nom.
