I agree with Jack Moss that STV (Single Transferable Vote) has got to be the best and fairest voting system overall. Our present system of FPTP is like cigarettes: it only exists because when it was invented, they didn't know all the stuff that was bad about it. I'm sure plenty of people don't vote because they believe their favourite candidate will be defeated anyway. Full "pro rep" would be much better, and STV would be better still.
