Rejected petition Give people a vote to reform the voting system to Single Transferable Vote

The first past the post system is outdated and mathematically always leads to an unfair two party state. Places like Ireland and even some parts of the UK such as Scotland and northern Ireland already have the Single Transferable Vote system and we propose it be used in general and local elections.
