Rejected petition Change UK First Past the Post electoral system to Single Transferable Vote

We, the undersigned call on HM government to make our parliament more representative of people's views and introduce the Single Transferable Vote system of proportional representation to replace the current first past the post system which is clearly divisive.

More details

The EU referendum showed how divided our country is and how disconnected people feel from those who govern us.
The First Past The Post system of voting has been responsible for this disconnect - the Conservatives won the last election outright with only 36.9% of the vote.
Green Party and UKIP voters in particular were penalised by First Past The Post.
MPs elected through the Single Transferable Vote would represent more fairly the diverse views of the voters and promote consensus solutions.
