The current voting system is totally flawed and unless people vote for who they really want to see we will continue to be governed by either the Tories or Labour based on a MINORITY of the populations choice.
Why should a third of the country decide who governs us? This is what the present system get us.

Personally, I wonder who it will highlight it to? Probably nobody.
