So would you move to a system where you wouldn't have districts but you vote for the party?
------------------------------------------------
Or would you have a system with instant run off voting? For the people who don't know how instant run off voting works here is how.
You list your first choice, second choice, third choice, etc when you vote.
Assume we have an election where the total precinct has these results as their first choice.
Conservative 40%
Lib Dem 35%
Labour 25%
Since Conservative doesn't have a 50% share, than the people who voted for the least popular party would have their party drop out. In this case Labour. Since the Labour votes were drop out the people who voted for Labour would then have their second choice decide the election. If the second choice for the Labour voters were 50% Conservative and 50% Tory than that 25% would be split 12.5% and 12.5% and now the totals would be Conservative 52.5% and Lib Dem 47.5%, thus the Conservatives would win. But if the Labour voters had for their second choice 35% Conservative and 65% Lib Dem, than the 25% would be split 8.75% Conservative and 16.25% Lib Dem making the final totals 51.25% Lib Dem and 48.75% Conservative.
------------------------------------------------
Or some combination of the two. You have two votes and one vote determines your precinct/district representative and another vote that determines your party representative? If this is your system would you have one house or two?
