Thank you for your kind comment 22ANDUK.
TR (Total Representation) retains the single member constituency and keeps elections simple - just one cross on the ballot paper by the name of the candidate the voter wants to win. No 'second preference' or 'third preference' votes, no multi-member (Single Transferable Vote) constituencies and no additional votes for separate lists.
Total Representation is a voting system which the europhile ruling 'elite' and pro-EU parties such as the Liberal 'Democrats' do not like because, if implemented in UK General Elections, would result in UKIP MPs being elected from the 'reserve' 'top-up' list of candidates and - since it reduces the 'wasted vote' scenario in the First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) election constituencies - eventually in some constituencies too.
