Hold a General Election with proportional voting.
Hold a general election now but use proportional voting and remove first-past-the-post voting.
Last election 29 Million voted, labour got 9.7 million votes and 411 seats 33% voted for them. Remove the old system and create a new proportional representation system where if a party gets 33% of votes they only get 33% of the power.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Is this about passing a law to change the voting system and then calling a general election on the new system or about calling a general election now (which would legally have to be on the old system)? - presumably the former, in which case that isn't entirely clear from the wording.
We already have a petition on calling a general election now which is still open and can be signed:
Dissolve Parliament and call a General Election now!
