Fix Our Broken Voting System Already

I'm fed up with the way our electoral system is stacked against anyone who doesn't toe the party line, it's like they want to squeeze out any independent thought. As a GP I see the effects of bad policy every day, and it's clear that our voting system is a major part of the problem. We need a system that actually represents the people, not just the two main parties.

I'd change the system to some form of proportional representation, it's not rocket science, other countries manage it just fine. This would mean that smaller parties and independents actually have a chance of getting elected, rather than being squeezed out by the big two. It would also mean that our politicians are more representative of the people they're supposed to be serving, rather than just being yes men for their party.

The current system is a joke, it's all about who can raise the most money and shout the loudest, rather than who has the best ideas.
