Is it fit for purpose in a modern democracy or do it's flaws render it obselete? Whether you are a novice on the workings of First past the post, a politics buff or just curious, come along for engaging talks, plenty of questions and hopefully some answers.The keynote speaker is Patrick Hurley, MP for Southport.  Patrick is a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fair Elections, who want to replace First past the post with a proportional voting system where seats match votes. As a first step the APPG are pushing for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. Patrick is well placed to update us on the APPG’s progress.Patrick will be joined by Rob Ford a national expert on political analysis. Rob is Professor of Political Science at Manchester University. He is a keen advocate for proportional representation (PR) based on his analysis of “electoral chaos” from First past the post, particularly under our multi-party system. Rob has also identified beneficial policy outcomes for PR over a range of measures.

                "description": "W﻿e are a cross-party and no-party campaign to replace our archaic First past the post voting system with Proportional Representation (PR).   We want an end to wasted votes, tactical (guesswork) voting, and a Parliament that doesn't represent people.  Our distorting Winner-takes-all voting system gives bizarre and unpredictable results,  confrontational politics and decisions made for party advantage over country advantage.  No wonder there's disillusionment and distrust with politics.There is a better way - a proportional voting system, where seats match votes and everyone is represented would help renew our democracy.PR is an idea whose time has come.  If you feel the same then please join us at https://parboldbottle.org.uk/ and click on the Make Votes Matter tab at the upper right of the page."
