Letter: Time to change the voting system?
There has been much talk of the undemocratic nature of the EU but ironically MEPs have always been chosen by a far fairer system than our own MPs – by proportional representation .
Now that people have realised that their vote can count it is surely time to replace our outdated and unfair , first past the post system , which effectively disenfranchises many of us .

No wonder there is widespread apathy amongst voters.
It is time to change the system and take control.
