Proportional Representation

SEED Bath is a new network of groups campaigning locally on Social, Environmental, Ethical and Democratic issues. Its aim is to communicate ideas and events of common interest. (Bath, UK)

SEED Bath

Is it time for a fairer voting system: one where we can vote according to our convictions and parliamentary seats reflect the will of the people? Would proportional representation (PR) be better? 
What is "proportional representation" anyway, and which type of PR would bring about a truly representative result? How effective have such systems been in countries where they have been adopted? 
Darren Hughes, Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Society, will explain the various systems to us, showing their pros and cons in devolved administrations in the UK, elsewhere in Europe and beyond.
Darren's talk will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Klina Jordan of Make Votes Matter. Panellists include Wera Hobhouse MP (former member of the council of the Electoral Reform Society) and local representatives from Labour, Green and Conservative parties.
Refreshments will be served.
There is no admission charge; collection to cover the cost of room hire.
