Elections, the process by which representatives are chosen to vote
and act on our behalf, have come to be accepted as an integral part
of most democratic systems. But there are many varieties of
electoral system: proportional representation and
first-past-the-post are two very different systems currently in
operation. The issue of whether the rules governing the current
electoral process are in need of reform provokes perennial debate.
Andrew Reeve and Alan Ware attempt to inform this debate by
analyzing such critical questions as the role an electoral system
plays in allocating values in a society, the significance of the
territorial dimension, and the connection between democracy and the
electoral process. The authors analyze these questions from both a
comparative and a theoretical standpoint. They look at electoral
systems in relation to democratic theory, examine justifications
for some aspects of modern electoral rules, and link the study of
electoral systems to that of voting systems. They compare
parliamentary elections with various other kinds of election, and
look at the differences between British experience and that of
other countries. This book should be of interest to
