Introduce proportional representation in the United Kingdom

Introduce a proportional representation system of voting in the United Kingdom, to ensure that each vote has equal weighting and to encourage more people to vote in general elections.

Why is this important?

The 'first-past-the-post' system is archaic and outdated. It is an affront democracy. This was highlighted by the general election results of 2015. How can it be possible for 1.4 million to vote for the Scottish National Party and receive 56 seats in parliament, yet 3.7 million voted for the United Kingdom Independence Party and only received one seat of representation in parliament?
