Petition Action

Switch to proportional representation!

Petition Details

Many developed countries like Germany,Spain,Portugal,Poland,Turkey,Australia and New Zealand use PR. Why don’t we?

Additional Information

I want the government to change the way the UK votes in general elections to proportional representation. For example, if the blue team got 30 votes they’d get 30 seats and if the Red team got 20 votes they’d get 20 seats. I believe this is a fairer way to vote because I believe it represents votes more.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you'd like parties to be given as many seats as they received votes as your petition suggests, or if you'd like seats to be matched to the percentage of votes received.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
