| Question text | Here are some decisions that could be made either by the MPs we elect to parliament or by everyone having a say in a special vote or referendum. And who do you think should decide whether or not the UK should introduce proportional representation for Westminster elections so that the number of MPs each party gets matches more closely the number of votes each party gets? Should that decision be made by elected MPs in parliament OR by everyone in a referendum? | |||||||||||||||
