Ellie Chowns has spoken about the need for reform of the UK’s electoral system, arguing that the current first-past-the-post system does not fairly reflect how people vote.
She highlighted concerns that political parties can secure large parliamentary majorities without receiving a majority of votes nationally, and reiterated support for proportional representation as a way to ensure that every vote carries equal weight and that a wider range of voices is represented in Parliament.
Ellie emphasised the importance of building a more representative democratic system in which every vote counts.
