Re: A seachange to our democracy
Perhaps we could do something completely different and dispense with all the political parties and just have independent representatives for each area and fewer MPs. The independent representatives would state their views on set topics and people could vote on those .Once elected the MPs could put themselves forward to represent a sector eg health, defense, the economy etc with a certain quota for each. The sector MPs would individually formulate and propose a number of policies on which all the MPs would vote.
Not quite sure who would be in charge or how we could arrive at a Prime Minister
Most PMs are just a figurehead anyway with advisors formulating policy and speech writers deciding what is said.

However proportional representation would be perfect for an upper house vote (when Britain finally decides to become a democracy)
