Line 1:
'''Direct Party and Representative Voting''' ('''DPR
Voters have two separate and distinct votes. One vote determines the party voting power in the Parliament, and one vote elects the MP (or representative) for the constituency.
Line 11:
Each MP has an equal vote on ‘non party political’ issues.
Principal outcomes:▼
▲Principal outcomes:
* A form of proportional representation is achieved with minimal change to the voting system.
* The existing system of single member constituencies is retained.
* The existing system of electing MPs is retained
*The elections of the MP and the party of government are not conflated, improving voter choice.
* There are no safe ‘party’ seats.
* Voting in marginal constituencies cannot determine the election of the Government.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* Voting power in parliament is proportional, there is no party bias.
* Frequent revision to constituency boundaries is not required to retain this fairness.
As a replacement for FPTP, DPR Voting is a way of introducing a form of proportionality while retaining much of the existing electoral system. It requires some changes to the way parliament operates.
Line 32:
It would be similarly straightforward to reverse the change.
