This simple text, supported by diagrams and colour photographs, examines the function of the electoral system within the context of British government and democracy. It poses the following questions: how does it work in today's world? Is it a fair system, or does it need reforming? Should people be given the opportunity to vote on single issues, in referenda, or should we let the political party of our choice make decisions on our behalf? Illustrated with quotes from MPs and other officials, the book examines whether the electoral system adequately represents the people it serves.
