The country needs electoral reform – and Labour has the chance to be on the right side of this argument
First-past-the-post is failing. Representatives are being elected on 20 per cent of the vote and less. That is not a democratic mandate.

Supporters of the status quo keep claiming that first past the post produces strong and stable governments, denying the reality in front of their eyes. If we truly want stable and credible government, we need a voting system that reflects how people actually vote.
