Background
This stops voters being forced to vote tactically meaning that they can vote for who they desire without knowing their vote will not count. It allows a more diverse selection of MP’s to be elected creating a parliament that is more representative of the public. It keeps local representation by allowing areas to have local representation while keeping the tradition of 650 seats in parliament. Isle of white could be combined to create a 2 MP mega-constituency. https://tinyurl.com/5973dh7w
