Rejected petition Reform UK democracy by changing voting system (replacing First Past The Post)

After the historic decision in the EU referendum, for some based on the lack of transparency and democratic accountability, now is the time to put right our own system.

First Past the Post is unfit to represent the public. We need to change the system (but not be offered a single alternative).

More details

FPTP results in a significant disconnect between votes in a general election and the make up of Parliament. The EU referendum has shown how every individual vote can matter, with FPTP it boils down to a handful of swing constituencies.
