Is the Electoral System in the UK satisfactory? An Electoral System which can also be referred to as Voting systems, involve the processes by which we elect candidates.

An Argument for Single Transferable Vote One of the main functions of elections is to ensure representation. Yet, it is arguable that most electoral systems do not return proportional results and therefore do not ensure proper representation.
