Abstract
A Mixed Proportional Representation system is the fairest electoral system in an imperfect world. It is the system most likely to get citizens involved in our democracy: it is easy to understand, and makes each vote count. [1 page]

Thank you all so very much for giving of your time and energy in this way. You do us all a great service.

One thing is clear, we cannot go on allowing our democracy to wither, and even worse, to be about who has the most money. Something has to change.

I feel deeply that Mixed Proportional Representation is the most fair system in an imperfect world. Most importantly, it is the system most likely to re-invest citizens in our democracy. It is easy to understand, and makes each vote count. Without this re-investment and greater participation, our democracy will be done for and the rights and freedoms we now enjoy will become a memory.

Thank you so much for your kind attention.
