<FONT FACE=3D"Geneva,Arial,sans-serif" SIZE=3D"2">Britain will become t=
he first country in the world to use the internet for voting, as part of =
radical changes to the political system, Robin Cook, the leader of the Co=
mmons, has told the Guardian. <P>In an interview, Mr Cook is scathing abo=
ut the culture of parliament, describing its procedures as antique, ludic=
rous, Dickensian and as ritualised as 18th-century duelling. <P>Mr Cook=
intends to "enfranchise" those who want to vote online as a way of drawi=
ng back under-40s to the democratic process. Pilot schemes for local elec=
tions begin in the spring, with a chance that voting by internet could be=
in place for the next general election, though Mr Cook admits that that =
is a "tough call". <P>Among his other plans is the use of the web for da=
ily feedback to parliament on policy choices before MPs. He also confir=
ms his determination to press ahead with increased powers and greater ind=
ependence for select committees, despite the worries of Whitehall officia=
ls, the Speaker, Michael Martin, and some fellow cabinet ministers. <P>A=
lthough the Commons leader has spoken before of his disquiet about parlia=
mentary culture, leading to a package of reform proposals unveiled in Dec=
ember, neither he nor any other serving cabinet minister has gone as fa=
r in public before. He will not have calmed uneasy MPs by bluntly warning=
them that they "often appear longwinded" and must consider shorter, more=
relevant debates and shorter speeches. <P>Mr Cook is reacting in part t=
o the disastrous slide in turnout at last year's general election, which =
fell to 59%, the worst since universal suffrage was introduced. He believ=
es that part of the reason for the disconnection between MPs and the pe=
ople is the way visitors to Westminster are treated: "The way we treat th=
e public is deplorable. Anybody watching the public being herded around t=
he House of Commons would not come to the conclusion that these are the p=
eople who pay for us, that these are the people who elected us," he says.=
