Gloucestershire MPs support proportional representation

At the 2015 general election the results were incredibly disproportionate and demonstrated the inability of first-past-the-post to adequately or legitimately represent the diverse range of political opinion in the UK. Whatever party you support, if you care about preserving our democratic society you will agree that FPTP is a redundant system.

The current government leads on a mandate of just 36% of voters, the SNP are vastly overrepresented in Scotland whilst the Greens and UKIP received just 2 MPs between them, despite receiving almost 5m votes.

This creates artificial divides and doesn't reflect what people really want. It's time for our MPs in Gloucestershire to speak up for democracy and let our voices be heard in Westminster.
