Description
The ballot box is the only thing guaranteed to make politicians listen. Electoral rules shape the nature of our politics: the relationship between government and governed, between candidates and their parties. And what if tweaking the system could prevent MPs claiming expenses for their duck houses? The choice will be yours. The first nationwide referendum for over 35 years is on the horizon. But it's all too easy just to switch off when it comes to the debate on electoral reform. Full of acronyms; AV, AMS, STV and MMP - it's like being plunged into an alphabet soup! A Citizen's Guide to Electoral Reform is here to help. This easy-to-read guide cuts through the obscurities and let's you know what's really at stake when the referendum comes.
