Introduce compulsory voting, 50% winning threshold and non-of-the-above option
I want the government to change the system at all general elections from now on.
I think:
1.) There should be compulsory voting.
2.) A candidate must get at least 50% of vote share to win their seat. If a candidate gets fewer than 50% of the vote share, I think there should be revote between the top two candidates.
3.) "None of the above" should be added to ballots papers and if more than 25% of people in a constituency choice this option, new candidates must be chosen for that area.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
