We were delighted to welcome former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern into the office today to talk to the team about how proportional representation has worked in New Zealand.

With public support for change never higher, resistance to electoral reform can only last so long. Even if not this time, representative politics will win eventually. Read about the campaign to change the voting system for council elections in Wales ๐Ÿ‘‡ buff.ly/3BPsBnf

The tide is turning. As the country votes in local elections, more and more media outlets are talking about the end of the two-party system - and calling for electoral reform. First Past the Post is a ridiculous voting system but its days are numbered. We deserve better.
