I think the current widespread apathy and disengagement from the political process as seen in low voter turnout is a direct consequence of FPTP. If you don't live in a marginal constituency your vote really doesn't count. I believe that the main reason we need some form of PR (STV ideally) is that it would re-vitalise the whole of politics. Yes, in the short term we might get governments we don't like, but that's democracy. And we get that with FPTP anyway. |
