Closed petition Adopt the STV voting system for a more representative government.
Closed on
Our current FPTP voting system is extremely flawed. The system has been in use for so long that, just like the USA, we are stuck in a two-party system that we will never be able to break out of.
Let’s imagine a new country adopts the system and holds the first election. The results are-
Blue- 27% of votes
Green-32% of votes
Red-21% of votes
Yellow-20% of votes.
Green party wins with only 32% of the country’s representatives but is elected PM (68% of the country is unrepresented).
This is the system we have in the UK.
I don’t have enough characters left to explain the benefits of STV, but please use these videos to learn-
