Shownotes

Inspired by the bunfight in the US about voting mechanisms, and the unverified shouting - we look at methods of voting this side of the Atlantic; Is proportional representation a great idea for better, reflective, representative democracies, or a recipe for chaos that wedges the door open for extremism? Is Voter ID a solution without a problem that risks disenfranchising voters who can't afford or don't need photo ID, or a way to keep our electoral process secure? With it being the 21st centiury where your phone unlocks with your fingerprints, or face, do we still need to vote in person, or is this just a way to let the hackers run wild with our elections and confound the technically challenged? We invited listeners to join us and make a for or against case for whichevver idea took their fancy.
