We need a voting system of proportional representation. Thoughts?

[KitKat1985]

Looking at the election voting statistics yesterday, what is really apparent again is that our 'first past the post' voting system is completely failing people versus a proportional representation system.

Look at the vote stats:

In a nutshell, just over 43% of people voted conservative. If you combine the figures for people that voted Labour, Lib dem, SNP or Green you get nearly 50%. In a nutshell, that means the majority of people voted for left wing parties, and yet left wing politicians are now only now a minority in government. No wonder so many people were pissed off on results day. Hardly very democratic is it? Our current voting system is no longer fit for purpose now that multiple political parties can be voted for, and we should move to a system of proportional representation. Thoughts?

Was thinking about this today. In terms of individual mps and they lose their jobs due to party swings rather than their actual competence.
Take liberals. They lose their leader as she represents a closely fought seat. But if we are to have 11 liberal mps should they not be the best 11 liberal mps?
People who are competent losing their jobs every 5 years just due to swings in public opinion seems inefficient. Experience should count for something.

Yes, I agree with some form of PR. Don't think we're going to get it, though. FPTP is an awful system.
