Westminster is in free fall and Northern Ireland keeps paying the price. Another leader won’t fix a broken system - we need PR, real accountability and politics that puts people first. Join us. 💚 https://greenpartyni.org/join #GreenPartyNI #ProportionalRepresentation #HopeIsHere

@ChrisMayLA6 Sadly, political debate in Britain is stuck on the broad category of #ProportionalRepresentation (PR). This mostly means #dHondt or the #AdditionalMemberSystem (#AMS).
#SingleTransferableVote (STV) is used in Scottish local elections, and in Northern Ireland. #STV is vastly better PR, 'cos it facilitates new entrants, removes tactical voting, and disempowers parties. Ideal for our times, and invented by a Brit: Thomas Hare.
And STV has been used for the House of Commons.

BTW the German #Erststimme is #FPTP,
the #zweitstimme is #proportionalrepresentation -
End the Chaos of First Past the Post
No party has won a majority of the #vote in almost a century, yet due to the voting system we have near-constant single party #governments setting the rules for everyone.
Our #parliaments never represent the views of the public
