Introduce proportional voting system and elected second chamber.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

I'm devastated both by the EU referendum result, and by the opinions voiced by those on either side against the other. Rather than call for a second referendum, make a difference by ensuring that all people's voices are heard through a system of proportional representation. This will unite us.

There is a way Brexiters could really hand back control to voters. Caroline Lucas, Guardian, 24/06/2016.

This referendum puts voting reform right back at the top of the agenda, Polly Toynbee, Guardian, 23/06/2016
