From INIREF the campaign for better GB democracy

How New Zealanders dumped their First Past the Post electoral system and installed a better system of their choice
Another UK general election?
What do you think about the quality of our democracy? Can you really take part effectively in running our country?
As citizens we are only allowed to vote once in several years for an MP. So how can we possibly help to steer our public affairs or influence how politics is done in our names?
Better electoral system could help, see how Kiwis dumped FPP (First past the post elections) for a fairer method*.
