What is your opinion on electoral reform?
I'm conflicted! I'm not hugely political, so it's hard to have a fully formed opinion.
Proportionate Representation (PR) - as far as I know, this means that it takes into account votes across the whole country rather than individual constituency - In the current system, 20% of the country might vote Lib Dem, but they don't get 20% of the seats. And then I suppose the PM would be the leader of the largest party, as it is now.
But despite this, I still see our current system as better; as it stands, Parliament is sovereign rather than the PM. Parliament is made up of locally voted MPs. If seats were to be divvied up based on votes across the country, how would local MPs be designated?
Thoughts?
