Voting systems set the power you have at the ballot box. They can define both the quality of representation, and the quality of government we receive. They dictate where and how parties campaign and whose votes matter.

The system can determine whether government is based on confrontation or cooperation. Whether the many or the few get to speak in our name on the issues that matter.

In Britain today there are several systems in operation at different levels of government, all with radically different implications for voters, for parties and for government.
