Description
Gareth Smyth's collection of essays examines and develops many of the issues about the present electoral system's inadequacies raised in "Can the Tories Lose?", his successful guide to Britain's marginal constituencies. With the gradual shift of the Labour Party, signalled by the Plant Commission's report, the need for a more representative and fair voting system has found advocates from across the political spectrum. "Refreshing the Parts" brings together these voices in an endorsement of the cause of electoral reform. Following the pattern of "Can the Tories Lose?", "Refreshing the Parts" comprises a mixture of political reflection and argument with facts, quotes, polling evidence on public attitudes and original research - including a guide to the different forms of proportional representation.
