PR and the People
Recommend on Google+
With the debate on electoral reform hotting up, there are an increasingly good number of sources for students and teachers regarding the debate over what type of electoral reform could be implemented. The Fabian society’s Next Left blog analyses David Cameron’s claim that PR would make it more difficult to throw out governments, and provides an excellent history of the impact of the current First Past The Post system. The virtue of the Next Left piece is that it is firmly rooted in examining what has actually happened, and students obviously need to be able to strike a balance between hypothetical speculation, and the need to use examples and clear evidence in order to organise cases for or against different voting systems.
