A 2023 poll finds general public support changing the voting system, as only 1 in 5 say the UK political system is working well.

This petition aims to express public support for a change in the UK's current voting system, moving towards a system of proportional representation. Right now, the UK operates under a 'First Past The Post' system, where the candidate with the most votes in a constituency wins, regardless of whether they achieve a majority. This often renders a significant portion of the votes essentially ineffective.

Under proportional representation, however, all votes carry weight, as the number of seats a party gets is proportional to the number of votes they receive. This can lead to a more balanced and representative parliament, reflecting the diversity of political opinion across the UK.

We call upon Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK Labour party, to use his platform and influence to passionately advocate for this electoral reform. Not only can this change promote fairer representation, it can also help to foster greater public engagement, as people understand that every single vote counts.

Please join us in supporting this call for change. Sign the petition today and express your belief in a fairer, more democratic voting system for the UK.
