New electoral system for Euro elections 1999

rainbow

For the first time in a national poll proportional representation will apply to the European elections in the UK in 1999. This represents the fulfilment of one aspect of the Natural Law Party's manifesto objective to enable all political parties to be represented in government according to their level of support (the current system creates a situation of one party rule even where the leading party does not have a majority of the vote; the Labour party, for example, won nearly 2/3rd of the seats in the 1997 General Election with only 45% of the vote and now holds all government ministerial positions).

UK Government says "yes" to proportional representation for 1999 Euro elections (July 1997)

The Natural Law Party congratulates the Labour Party on its courage in introducing this first step in changing the system, and on its other efforts to encourage greater moves towards "consensus politics".

An end to negative voting

smile

The previous electoral system of "first past the post" has encouraged negative voting where people vote on the basis of trying to prevent a particular party from winning a particular parliamentary constituency.

What is proportional representation? - click here

Because , under the proportional representation system, each vote for a political party makes a direct contribution to the number of seats it holds in parliament voters are much more willing to vote for the party they most identify with rather than vote tactically simply to limit the success of a party that they don't approve of.
