Closed Correct the flaws in our First-Past-The-Post voting system.

Closed on

Add score voting to the FPTP ballot; to correct its flaws, improve on its ability to produce strong governments, and strengthen its direct constituency link

Stand by 2011 AV referendum result by keeping the first past the post selection of MPs defining FPTP, but address the issues that lead to it

FPTP Currently: a voter marks one candidate, voters' marks are tallied, and the candidate with the highest total wins

W/ Score Voting: a voter scores each candidate, voters' scores are tallied, and the candidate with the highest total wins

A minor ballot change can fix all of FPTP's flaws AND add to its strengths
