“Controversially the electoral system will give more power to political parties. Candidates will be listed in an order chosen by the parties, and voters will only be able to vote for the party list, without the ability to express a preference for particular candidates.

It will give enormous power to the parties, to the disadvantage of ordinary voters. “
