#116 - Emma Knaggs on Why We Need To Reform Our Electoral System

Emma Knaggs, the grassroots leader at Make Votes Matter was my guest on today’s show. Make Votes Matter are a single issue campaign for the reform of the UK voting system into a more proportional and representative one. They are a cross party group working to get more and more MPs on board with the idea of a PR system or something similar and hope to finally convince the Labour party to support their cause at this years conference. We talked all about how they plan to convince Labour to support their movement, why it is important to have a more representative system, and the downsides of our current First Past The Post system.
