"There’s a common lament about British democracy. It’s that our electoral system, First Past the Post, systematically leaves people out."

In the conclusion of his first 2023 #ReithLecture, @benwansell made the case for PR as part of Britain's democratic future

"I do think the First Past the Post system has basically failed... it was supposed to provide a clear answer and decisive government. Well, we've had fantastically indecisive government for years and years and years now"
