Reform Of The Election System
EDM number 657 in 2014-15, proposed by George Galloway on 05/01/2015.
Categorised under the topic of Electoral systems.
That this House believes that it is fundamentally undemocratic that around 200,000 floating voters in marginal constituencies will determine the UK's next government and the fate of the country; notes that for millions who will vote they are participating in an empty charade; points out that this is one reason why people have lost faith in Parliament and politicians; and further believes that the best way to ensure that every vote counts is to have a system of proportional representation which will help re-establish faith in the political process.
This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
