Episode 92
In 1993, New Zealanders voted to replace First Past the Post with a proportional voting system. 30 years on, we discussed how this all-important electoral overhaul came about with two special guests:
- Max Rashbrooke, a New Zealand based writer on democracy and economic inequality
- And Danna Glendining, a New Zealand Green Party activist and MMP advocate
We discussed the challenges and difficulties of changing the voting system, how a transition to PR has transformed politics in New Zealand and what democracy campaigners in the UK can learn about the road to electoral reform.
