    Not sure with FPTP we are that democratic now… We desperately need electoral reform.

      FPTP isn’t inherently undemocratic. It’s not ideal, for any number of reasons, but it does have the advantage of a strong local link to representatives and (usually) leads to strong governments. I personally would prefer STV like Ireland has as a first choice, and as a second choice some form of MMP (like the Scottish Parliament, or New Zealand, or Germany)

        I argue for MMPR a lot, because of the local MP element. I like range/score voting too, so maybe combine that with MMPR to get the best system.
