Electoral Reform

As a young man my first move into politics was to join the Electoral Reform Society or ERS for short. www.electroal-society,org.uk.

The First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system, usually means that only a third of the electorate have an MP who is even close to their views.

In a recent development the largest cross party groupin in the Commons is one seeking to change the current voting system. There are many alternatives some practiced by Local Authorities, including Northern Ireland and many professional organisations.
