It just gets on my nerves how Westminster parties only ever care about a handful of swing seats down south. Our votes here in Scotland feel like they don't count for anything in the grand scheme of things, especially when it comes to a general election. They can ignore the distinct needs of places like Paisley or Glasgow because the current system means they never really have to bother to win over the whole country, just specific pockets. Our schools and hospitals suffer because of this constant focus elsewhere.
We need to ditch First Past the Post right across the UK and move to a system of Proportional Representation. It means every vote genuinely matters, not just the ones in constituencies where two parties are neck and neck.
