Is our voting system still appropriate at a time when there are so many competitive parties? For this week's Figuring it Out, the World at One's Sarah Montague and PM's Evan Davis discuss whether a new prime minister will seek to change the first-past-the-post voting system. It was designed for a political landscape dominated by two major parties - and has historically led to stable majorities. But it may be less suited to today’s more fragmented, multi-party politics. Listen to the World At One and PM on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. For the latest news download the BBC News app or visit BBC.com/news #UKPolitics #BBCNews
