Adem Somyurek is a name most of us didn't know until Sunday when 60 Minutes broke the story of the Labor Powerbroker's alleged branch stacking, and possible voter fraud.

The story has rocked the Australian Labor Party to its foundations, but it's not the first time our parliamentary system has been scandalised by the practise. 

So what exactly is branch stacking? And, why does it matter to our political process?
