• It’s Podmasters’ 10th birthday! Get an extra 10% off a year’s Patreon backing. Reform could well land a colossal freak victory and total power over the UK at the next General Election. Britain’s first-past-the-post electoral system is struggling to cope with our new five-party system. As voters desert Labour and the Tories in droves, has proportional representation’s moment finally come? Should Labour finally embrace fair votes for fear of something worse? Who is relighting the debate and how could it happen? And would a new PM’s promise to make every vote count be big enough to convince Britain that Labour is serious about changing Britain for the better? The New Statesman’s associate political editor and Oh God, What Now? regular Rachel Cunliffe digs into the new electoral reform debate with Andrew Harrison. • Read Rachel’s piece on proportional representation in the New Statesman here. • Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.
