Only if it stops Nigel Cunting Farage from getting anywhere near Downing Street. Otherwise keep the current system until he’s fucked off somewhere.

We shouldn’t deny people representation as that’s completely undemocratic not to mention the extremists could just lurk behind the 2 big parties. With proportional representation there’s more transparency of what political ideologies the population supports.

First-past-the-post didn’t stop Robert Mugabe and Donald Trump.
