- 1the rights that people have when opposing the introduction of new laws.to demonstrate/protest outside public/government buildings. This may attract media attention and get their arguments over to wider audience
• to lobby their MP at the House of Commons. Constituents have the right to visit parliament and ask to speak to their MP
• to send letters/e-mails of protest to their MP, Minister in charge, or Prime Minister
• to setup a petition, perhaps on the Internet, to allow the public to express their concerns as well. - 2Single Transferable Vote Used in elections for local councils in Scotland• no wasted votes. If a voter fails to get their first choice, the vote will be reallocated until it is counted
• smaller parties have a better chance of getting a candidate elected. This means that one party is less likely to dominate
• gives greater choice to voters as they could choose to vote for all the candidates in one party, or all women candidates, or all ethnic minority candidates. There are limitless variations as to how a particular person could vote
• coalitions between parties are much more likely. This will encourage parties to work together more, and better reflect the way people have voted. - 3Additional Member System Uesd in elections for the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood• the number of MSPs each party gains is much more proportional to the votes cast nationally. This better reflects the wishes of the people of Scotland
• smaller parties have a better chance of gaining seats. The parties that do well on the first vote are penalised on the second vote. This has allowed MSPs to be elected from the Green Party, Scottish Socialists, Solidarity, and other small parties
• fewer wasted votes, as in the second ballot votes are redistributed. This gives a greater incentive to vote
• Scotland has a coalition government. This reflects the way people in Scotland have voted. Where one party did not get a majority of the votes, they alone should not form the government. - 4First Past the Post Used in elections for the UK Parliament at Westminister• it is fair as the candidate who gets most votes wins the constituency – more people voted for the winning party
• it is a simple system which is easy for voters to understand. One cross is placed against the name of a candidate. It delivers a quick and readily understandable result
• each constituency has a personal link with single MP who can keep in close contact with the people in the area
• it usually provides a clear winner nationally, allowing one party to form a strong government without the need to form a coalition.
