Replace the UK's electoral system with Single Transferable Vote (STV)
The current FPTP (First Past The Post) system does not work. The Conservatives gained 50.8% of seats with 36.9% of the vote, so 100% of the control. We need to reform the system with STV. By ranking candidates and getting multiple MP's elected gives people MP's that more can agree with.(See details)

Note, if it was implemented, we could combine, for example, 3 constituencies then have it elect 3 MP's.
