Listen "Should PR replace FPTP in Westminster elections? "

Episode Synopsis

The current electoral system is First Past The Post, where if you win even +1 vote than the next party, YOU TAKE ALL. (Therefore the "winner takes all" saying) Some constituants feel unheard under this system, and suggest a proportional system instead of a plurality one, where the number of votes = number of seats in the house of commons. I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both system along with examples as fresh as the 2019 General Election to support my argument for there being no need to replace the current FPTP system.
