Allow English local authorities to choose the voting system for their council

Petition Details

Currently, English local authorities must use the First Past the Post voting system. Due to the Government's localism agenda, we the undersigned believe that local councils are best placed to decide their own voting system to ensure greater accountability and voter choice.

Additional Information

There are many examples of one-party councils across England, which has resulted in a lack of transparency and accountability with no effective opposition. We know that when councils face robust opposition and scrutiny, they spend less and deliver better value for money for the local communities they provide for.
