We’ve heard often that politics is volatile and anything could happen in the coming election, but even so, hundreds of seats across the country haven’t changed party hands for decades. Huge parts of this country are effectively competition-free zones, with ‘safe’ seats leaving voters demoralised and ignored time and again.
The average seat hasn't been won by a different party in 42 years.
Being trapped with the same representation for decades is not the hallmark of a responsive and functioning democracy.
