Closed Change the voting system at General Elections from FPTP to a supplementary vote.

Closed on

Change the voting system for all future General Elections from one that uses the FPTP process to one that uses a ‘supplementary vote’ system (1st and 2nd choice) to improve the democratic process for selection of MP's.

FPTP is widely thought of as an anti-democratic process in modern multi-Party democracies and needs to change to a more balanced and proportionate process. The change would help bring about a radical improvement in the democratic process used for selection of MP's and provide a more proportionate representation of the electorate in Parliament.
