Petition Action

One shareholder one vote in all company ballots

Additional Information

Currently shareholders vote in proportion to the number of shares they hold and do not have equality of voting rights at AGM's.
This means that large shareholders such as corporations, pension funds and the very rich have too great an influence over the salary and bonuses of directors. This applies particularly in the banking sector.
One share holder/ one vote would be an easy way to control the excessive salaries of bankers.
