Rejected petition CHANGE THE LAW ON OUR VOTING SYSTEM TO PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Rejected on
WE WANT PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION NOW.
You should be able to vote for who you truly support and not feel forced into backing your least worst preference.
Tactical voting is a huge flaw of FPTP.
Proportional representation can give voters real power by allowing all votes to count and can end the unfair practice of tactical voting.
