Important:
This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Replace first past the post with proportional representation.
First past the post shuts out rising political parties like the Greens causing a concentration of power in one party representing their own. Political power requires decentralisation so it's diffused between political parties in Britain representing our diverse culture, and not easily manipulated.
