Jack Bailey | Political Scientist

Hi, I'm Jack Bailey.

I'm a political scientist at the University of Manchester and a Co-Director of the British Election Study.

I study elections and electoral systems, and I am available for media, commentary, and collaboration.

Why not replace the UK's system of cliff edge tax changes with a continuous income tax curve instead?

Mixed-Member Proportional Representation is the path of least resistance to electoral reform in the UK.

What is the rank-size principle and why should we care about the unit of competition at elections?
