Mathematician, musician, dog-lover, campaigner for proportional representation. I developed the PREVAIL voting system, prevail.org.uk - an innovative, transparent PR system for the Westminster general election.
Fix this once and for all with the PREVAIL voting system!

Yes, and we need PREVAIL. People vote for Parliament not their constituency. Perfect PR is guaranteed.

Hi Gren
Unlike FPTP (and STV), PREVAIL is focused on Parliament not constituencies. A voter is really voting for a party (or independent) to represent it in Parliament. Even if the voter does not get the candidate they voted for their vote still counts towards securing seats for their party.

We need the PREVAIL voting system:

- puts Parliament before constituencies
- retains single seat constituencies
- no need for tactical voting
- guarantees perfect PR
- very few 'wasted votes'

Solve these problems in one fell swoop with PREVAIL.

PREVAIL, unlike all other voting systems, is Parliament and not constituency centred. Voters would not be "robbed" as their vote would count towards the number of seats their party won.
Who is elected in a constituency and their % vote does not matter. Voters have their constituency party rep.

The UK needs the PREVAIL PR voting system: guaranteed 100% PR from our existing single seat constituencies.

PR for the 21st century.

We need the PREVAIL PR voting system. The only PR system to guarantee perfect PR - and all from our existing single seat constituencies.

Yes, but the PR system we need is PREVAIL not STV!

In a proper election system people should never feel the need to vote tactically!

If we adopt the PREVAIL voting system it will guarantee perfect PR. Your scenario will not happen!

PREVAIL is democracy for the 21st century.

Yes, STV is used in regional and local assemblies, councils etc around the world. But it is little used for national parliaments. Polling shows the public wishes to retain single seat constituencies.
In constantly promoting STV you are failing to address these issues.

We need the PREVAIL PR voting system. The only PR system to guarantee perfect PR every time.
