Move away from first past the post and to a form proportional representation
Our system should be overhauled to a form of PR to ensure that every opinion has a voice in parliament (even the extremes) and parliament is a true representation of the people, not leave us with a binary choice of left or right and very little in between.
People in different constituencies are not equal as the numbers aren't equal. We are essentially forced into a binary choice when there are 1000 shades of grey. We lurch from left to right every decade effecting long term planning and we force people to pick sides whenthe majority of people are at the centre of the bell curve. Any system where a reasonable number of people vote for someone they don't want, to avoid getting someone they want even less is broken...
