The Electoral Reform Society was in Petersfield this week, advocating for a proportional representation voting system.

Speaking at the Current Affairs group at One Tree Books on Wednesday 12 March, Ian Simpson, from the Electoral Reform Society (founded in1884). spoke about the need for a voting system that reflects more fairly people’s views.

He is optimistic that the experience of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and the London Assembly, with proportional voting systems will bring change, but admits it’s a tough nut to crack!

He spoke to Mike Waddington.
