An Oxford University professor has written a report examining the pros and cons of the way we currently elect our MPs.
Prof Iain McLean wrote the report, Choosing an Electoral System, in collaboration with a number of other academics. It was published today by the British Academy.
He said: “Politicians talk a lot of nonsense about electoral systems.
“They decide which system suits their party, and cast around for arguments in support of that system.
“The people deserve better. So I am very grateful that the British Academy commissioned this report.”
