Switch to proportional representation for general elections

We think the First Past the Post system is becoming increasingly obsolete as the UK continues to move away from a two party system. We are now in a place where the party who may gain the most seats at an election could be the most unacceptable to the majority. We must protect our democracy.

Our entire government is being purchased, cheaply, by billionaires. People don't seem to grasp the concept.

Your great savings: $132,000.
His petty cash: $132,000,000.

Democracy is being obliterated by the grotesque disparity of wealth in America, made so BY CONGRESS!! This is BY CHOICE!

The two parties BY CHOICE ran the cost of elections out of sight. BY CHOICE they collect what is now BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM A WEB OF SOURCES, and then do their bidding, not the poor public incapable of raising the kind of money billionaires can.

Whose bidding?
Who donated to every SuperPAC?
Do you know their names? They bought America. We should know more than their names. We should know their faces.
