Make Votes Matter OXON Debate
Start: Thursday, April 13, 2023•07:00 PM
Proportional Representation is any voting system in which the share of seats a party wins matches the share of votes it receives. There are many different systems of Proportional Representation, but they all aim to make sure seats match votes.
The UK currently uses the primitive First Past the Post voting system - which causes severe problems for voters, our politics and our society.
Join MVM co-founder and Chief Exec Klina Jordan and Layla Moran MP for Oxford West and Abingdon in a conversation about how Proportional Representation would make ALL votes matter.
Layla was elected in 2017 partly by a progressive alliance and tactical voting – under PR these wouldn’t be necessary! Also confirmed to speak is local GP and health campaigner Dr Helen Salisbury, who in 2015 stood as a parliamentary candidate for the National Health Action Party, and Professor Helen Margetts, of the Oxford Internet Institute.
