To tell you the truth, I do not like the current system, which is nick named "first past the post" which means that in the electoral area there can only be one winner. So a political party can get up to 8 million votes and not get any seats in parliament.

As for the American system, again it seems weighted in favour of the two party system and giving one man (the president) virtually unlimited power. However, I'm not going to get involved in that.

What I am in favour of is proportional representation, which translate as every vote will count and parliament will be based on the proportion of votes cast for each party. However, there will have to be a threshold point where votes below this point do not get seats in parliament.
