Change our electoral system to Proportional Representation for true democracy

Petition Details

Please repeal First Past the Post and install a system which truly reflects the will of the people - surely PR, where votes = seats nationally rather than just the most popular candidate of a specific local area, is the only truly democratic way forward.

Additional Information

For far too long, balance of power has been held just between the Conservative & Labour parties. The British Parliament should directly reflect the votes of the British people - smaller parties deserve the representation of their actual votes and we, the people, need true progressive democracy. Maybe then, we can once again trust the people running the country.
