As it says . If it was a straight percentage national vote would you still vote the same ?
Knowing your vote would matter wherever you live .
Also been able to vote for party’s you can’t normally ie SNP , DUP ect ! |

"No.
It just means your vote actually counts in the overall scheme of things.
"
This is the key point. Under the current system, our votes are worthless in most locations.
eg If you're a Labour voter in a Tory dominated area, the Tories will win anyway. So your vote is effectively ignored. And if you're a Labour voter in a Labour area, Labour will win anyway. Again, your vote is effectively ignored. |

Exactly ! But also it opens the possibility of Scots in England voting SNP or people in Northern Ireland voting for the main parties if they want ! |

How those seats are allocated, open or closed voting, constituencies and how they work with PR, who gets what constituency etc etc
I get the easy bit of % of votes vs % of MP's, it's the rest of it

Ok here goes !
My idea would simply be each party would appoint an MP or representive to look after a certain area !
Thier wouldn’t be traditional constituencies !

"Which version of PR would you like to see used here? "
Straight percentage voting .
It would be up to each party to provide representation for areas via councillors or mps .

Israel has this type of voting. Which leads to small extremist party's getting in to power as part of a coalition. Also they are probably going to have a 3rd election in a year as no one can form a coalition |

I’m not a fan of extreme left or right but if they are legal and people want to vote for them it is democracy !
