Rejected petition To change the way we vote in the UK to a more democratic system

As part of our DS GCSE we have been exploring the different types of voting systems and come to the conclusion that the First Past the Post system we use in the UK doesn't correctly represent the views of the British people As a group we feel that we should change to a more democratic system.
