Close election results and governments ruling with an ever-diminishing share of the popular vote have reopened the debate on the reform of our electoral system and the government has decided that a Speaker's Conference shall look into the whole question. Robin Day discusses the political and constitutional arguments for changing the way we elect our parliaments with Rt Hon Jeremy Thorpe, MP, Angus Maude, MP and John Mackintosh, MP.
