Time to rethink one man, one vote?

Assoc Prof Lawrence Loh, Director of the Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations at NUS Business School, opined that any tweak to any voting system, in light of the Brexit referendum, is a very critical matter that has to be carefully considered in any country, as it can cut both ways and not necessarily benefit any incumbent power. He noted that there are distinctive virtues for the one man, one vote system and added that we can begin a productive discussion on alternatives, or supplements, to this system.
