From our blog this week - our Chief Executive Ben Rich examines the lessons from Gorton and Denton and the growing strain on first-past-the-post. The outcome of the 2028/29 election will become a complete lottery, while the polarisation of voting behaviours by constituency and community may lead many voters to dis-believe the outcome: “everyone I know voted Reform so it must have been fixed.” An election in which the votes cast become wholly disconnected from the outcome, where the integrity of the election comes into question and where accusations of cheating have a ring of truth for the electorate, could well undermine our whole democracy.

In the latest blog, our Chief Executive Ben Rich explores how fragmentation under first-past-the-post could reshape the next general election 🗳️
