How do you all feel about abolishing our First-Past-The-Post election system and replacing it with a system of proportional representation where you vote for a party with a strictly adhered to platform and representatives are seated based on the % of votes their parties get in elections. Also I am basing this off the German system so 5% is the required amount to get seated. I realize this would require a lot of amendments to the Constitution, but I feel overall it would be a huge improvement to our democracy.
