Proportional Representation is NOT National Representation.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In a General Election we should be able to vote as we do in referendums. Proportional Representation does NOT represent the true will of the Nation. Only the major political parties can get candidates in ALL constituencies. This makes it an unfair platform for the minor political parties.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. If you'd like a specific change to the voting system used for UK general elections, you could ask for that specific change.
