Replace the election system from First Past the Post to Single Transferable Vote

Petition Details

The Government should change the way MPs are elected from FPTP to STV. STV, like FPTP, allows there to be a single local MP but also does not mean people would feel like they have to vote for a party they do not want to unify the vote.

Additional Information

STV keeps the votes of people with similar views unified but also allows you to vote for smaller parties without the risk of breaking up the votes.

If we continue to keep FPTP, many people will feel they have no option but to vote for a party that they do not really want. Opinions have drastically changed since the 2011 vote and a new electoral system could help reflect this.
