I'm actually in New Zealand, where we have MMP proportional representation and a Green Party.
But I still let all the politicians in my electorate know that this is a voting issue for me.
We need to move that Overton Window. The more politicians know that this is what we want, the better.
If you're in a country with a good system, you probably have times where you need your political parties to work collaboratively to pass legislation and solve issues. It's good for them to know that we support them on this.
