Reform the voting system and abolish the First Past the Post system
Sign against the unjust democracy of the UK, allow people to have their voices in the General Election to be heard and reform the voting system to a fairer system. This disproportionate system of parties with numerous voters getting less seats is not working and is an unfair representation.
The terribly advertised Alternative Vote referendum of 2011 is not enough. Parties like the Liberal Democrats are constantly harassed by the FPTP system, showing a clear failure in a fair democracy of our country. A fairer system such as the Additional member system, as used in Scotland, would greatly improve our countries’ elections and the say of the people. Parties with more votes would get more seats - It’s as simple as that.
