Rejected petition Change the voting system to proportional representation.

We would like the voting system changing to proportional representation. The current system is set up to favour the elected government. And in no way represents the people of the United Kingdom.

More details

Remove the current system of constituency voting, and elect a government based on total cast votes in the UK. Under the current system, certain areas are becoming unrecognisable, and as a citizen of the United Kingdom, I believe that votes cast across the entire kingdom should be represented as a "proportional".
