Proportional Representation voting implemented before the next UK Election
Electoral Reform is needed before the next UK General Election.
Proportional representation ensures greater continuity of government and requires greater consensus in policy-making, much needed given the political fall out further to the EU Referendum.
The fairer treatment of minority parties and independent candidates
Fewer votes are 'wasted', as more people's preferences are taken into account
Greater effective choice for voters. By reducing the dominance of the large parties, PR may encourage turn-out and reduce apathy
By rarely producing an absolute majority for one party, PR ensures greater continuity of government and requires greater consensus in policy-making.
