Ep. 160 Parliament - now representative? (Update)
Manage episode 428177077 series 2875800
Following the 2024 General Election, there is a strong case to be made that the new Parliament is the most diverse ever. Yet is that enough? To truly judge this question, we must go beyond descriptive representation and ask the following questions:
1. Does parliament look like us?
2. Do elections help or hinder representation?
3. Are a broad range of ideas reflected in a multitude of political parties?
4. Do parliamentarians stand up for the people who put them there?
