Recent updates to the Free Range Network site in reverse chronological order:
Free Range Exhibition, 12th August 2025:
Parliament has become unrepresentative of the diversity of views in Britain. This is not a flaw or an oversight, it is by design – the result of decisions taken progressively over the last fifty years. This infographic uses elections data from the last century to show the reasons why.
Free Range Exhibition, 12th August 2025:
