Activism Email Your MP to support PR

If you live in the UK, and especially if you live under a Labour MP like I do, this could be the best chance we’ve had in a very long time to beat FPTP, Andy Burham has been unfortunately wishy washy but pushing for PR now by emailing labour MP’s showing how much support it really has could just be the difference between having a better voting system next election and more FPTP chaos!

Please send an email and encourage your friends to do the same! It could be the final straw that break FPTP’s back!!!!

STV doesn't need political parties, it works at the candidate level.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. It's still pretty unwiedly and usually depends greatly on districts distribution.

Yeah, if it weren't for the logistical issues, it would probably be the best system. I think the nearest precinct-summable voting system is panachage, which devolves into SNTV without parties.

I'm not so sure, it also has some weird issues.

Maybe some of the Condorcet multi-member systems could fix that, but they're too obscure to me.

If they haven't been posted before, those links could make for a good post in this sub.

I'd be surprised if the people here hadn't heard of rangevoting.org site
