Although smaller parties may be underrepresented if the system changed they don't have the capability to suddenly have more seats in terms of qualified members. In addition the AMS is too complicated for such a wide election. The House of Commons are too unorganised already which means the addition of regional MP's would be too chaotic. The UK could not wait longer than a day to elect a government as it could create political issues due to a lack of decision making thus Single Transferable Voting would not be suitable.]]> 2021-05-07 09:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Mrward100/zbuo3xlne6bofqr8/wish/1501561378
