Proportional Representation is NOT National Representation.

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
