Paul Tyler on electoral reform

Lord Paul Tyler is the Lib Dems' current spokesperson for electoral reform issues. Members of the LDER executive committee recently met with him, and he recorded this short video explaining why electoral reform remains a crucial issue even in the middle of the current Brexit crisis.

Transcript: Some people think that electoral reform is irrelevant at the moment. Not so - it's extremely important. Not just because people feel they're not properly represented by parliament, though that's one of the reasons why we're in this current mess. But also because of course First Past The Post, the present voting system, has delivered us something that is far from the stable, consistent, secure government that we're entitled to expect.

We'll have more details on our meeting with Paul in our next newsletter.
