Electoral and Constitutional Reform

The topic is specifically about the radical and ground breaking proposals in ‘The Living Vote’. A book which addresses the underlying problems in our current system and provides solutions to them.

Proportional Representation, or at least those hybrid systems that are in use around the world aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Here’s why and the example of Sweden’s last General Election under a national proportional arrangement.

What was it you had trouble with exactly. Do you know how our current electoral system works?
