You'll be seeing a lot of articles like this, but this is a pretty fair attempt to reduce a complex set of issue to an accessible points & comparisons (and I say that as someone who worked for Charter 88 in the 1990s).

But, put it on hold until the next decade, it can wait apparently.
Unlike Data Centres, we absolutely HAVE to build those as soon as possible!
Some things we can hurry and other things are always promised into the Future...and the Brits fall for it every time.

@ChrisMayLA6 #ElectoralReform will be a fascinating test of whether #Burnham can break our of the #NewLabour bunker in substance as he has done in rhetoric.
This question requires no money. No taxes, no spending.
But it does require an inversion of the Labour tradition of constrained choices, of forcing people into boxes shaped by the borg. No more closed lists, no single-person monopoly on a constituency.
Can Andy really persuade Labour to embrace #pluralism?

Alan Renwick (UCL) suggests to make sure it secures political legitimacy, Andy Burnham' plans for electoral reform need to:
Involve the public in deliberation(s);
Be openminded about the system that consultation might reveal to be the preferred option;
listen to experts, not least as there are already credible proposals available; no need to reinvent the wheel!
Lets hope Burnham/Labour follow this path, as electoral reform is badly needed!
