At the moment we have an electoral system that robs millions of people of their vote.
Vorderman says: "We desperately need to end a system where only marginal seats matter, end a system which delivers parliaments that fail to accurately reflect votes cast and end a system where only the winner's votes count. Mr Coogan plans to vote for Lib Dem Lewes candidate James MacCleary in a bid to oust Conservative MP Maria Caulfield.
Party leader Sir Ed Davey plans to close the rally with a giant blue cuckoo clock first seen in Windsor following the party's local election gains in southern England in May.
