Abstract

The confusing scramble by Remainers to vote tactically in this General Election has exposed the failings of the First Past the Post (FPTP) system. Tarun Khaitan (Oxford University) explains why the Alternative Vote system could have delivered a clearer signal about Brexit - particularly as it would have discouraged Labour from engaging in strategic ambiguity about it, and forced voters to deliberate on Plan B if their preferred option was not to be realised.
