Half of the British people support the introduction of proportional representatives, but maintaining local members is still a point to stick.
Election reforms have been a permanent discussion in British politics since the 19th century, and those who support small political parties tend to support more established political parties (our current posts (). FPTP) often complains about the voting system.
Following the general election of 2024, which brought the most proportional results in British history, there was a new call for the lower house election, and it has been switched to a proportional representative system (PR). This means that the seats acquired by the parties were almost proportional to the share of the voting, but as one parties were the standards of the UK, one stuffed country has won a total seat. The possibility of doing it is low.
Half of the British (49 %) support the introduction of the PR system. This is almost doubled that 26 % prefer to maintain the current FPTP system.
Switching to PR is the best among the Green (72 %), reform British (67 %), and Lib DEM voters (61 %).
Nevertheless, a small number (53 %) of the Labor Party voters supports moving to PR systems than only 27 % who prefers maintaining FPTP, but conservatives use PR in the UK. 42 % that continues to support FPTP, which is quite evenly divided between 39 % of the desire to do.
Almost two -thirds (64 %) of those who like any of the voting systems say they feel strongly about 59 % of those who like FPTP and 66 % of those who like PR.
Where do British trading off the voting system?
The selection of a voting system is ultimately a trading game, and different systems prioritize different elements such as proportional and local expressions. What kind of trade -off the British citizens are different for each trade -off.
The British people tend to say that the largest party is more important to be assigned to the parties in proportion to the parties, rather than gaining most of the lower house (27 %). A smaller party (44 %) than a system with two large main parties (27 %) that tends to support people.
Certainly, British people are quite open to small political parties, and believe that 53 % can get at least a few seats by getting a small number of votes. All seats as intended under FPTP.
Nevertheless, 37 % to 38 % of the British people like a single party government or the coalition government, and they want to vote for one candidate or do multiple rankings. 41 % to 44 % has been split. Candidate.
And in the constituency, there is a clear lead. Almost half (45 %) of the British people prefer to have a single local MP, as is currently under FPTP. Most PR systems.
PR and FPTP supporters mainly land on the “side” of the discussion, but there are some exceptions. PR supporters tend to prefer to have local MP (45 %) than multi -members’ constituencies (36 %), but 44 % of FPTP supporters who have a party to win a small number of votes. You need to think that you should still have some seats. % Of the considerable parties should not get a seat.
In addition, there are some issues between the PR conservatives and the reform supporters and those who voted for the left -wing party (LABOR, Lib DEM, GREEN, SNP, or Plaid Cymru). For example, the PR supporters of “left” are much more likely to support coalition (59 % to 25 %), but the PR supporters of “right” are the type of government. Is divided from 42 % to 44 %.
Do British people think that PR will make a positive difference?
British people believe that representative parliament is considered as an attempt to improve public opinion, and 53 % of the PR will bring a positive difference in this aspect.
It also tends to believe that PR is more responsible for politics. 37 % of the British people believe that switching to voting systems will bring aggressive differences in how easy voters eliminate or hold the government. Here, it has a negative impact compared to 13-17 % of Britons compared to 13-17 % of British PR.
The political stability, how simple the ballot is, is further divided on the left or far right expressions of Congress. In these three fields, we believe that a quarter (24 to 25 %) of the British people (24 to 25 %) will create a positive difference, but 22-26 % believe that it will cause negative differences. ~ 24 % feels that it doesn’t make a real difference.
Does the party change the attitude of election reform?
It is not unusual for election reform discussions to support specific voting systems for party -style advantage.
If the 2024 general election is held under PR, the main beneficiary will provide about 85 MPs in British reform and some scenarios have actually won the FPTP. According to the same estimation, the Greens had about 35 seats, conservatives had about 30 seats, but workers had nearly 200 seats.
When this hypothetical result was shown, British reform voters were probably the most eager, and 73 % regarded them as a better result. Half of the conservatives (48 %) also regarded it as improvement, but 22 % thought it was a worse result, Greens divided from 47 % to 17 %, Lib DEM from 40 %. 28 % have a better result.
In contrast, four out of ten worker voters (39 %) consider the “PR Results” version of the 2024 election as the worse result than the actual election, but it is not considered a better result. It is only 23 %.
However, in particular, the majority of those who support PR (54 %) felt that the PR version of the 2024 election would be a better result, but even half of those who support FPTP (45 %). , I don’t feel it is. The result is obviously worse than the actual 2024 election.
