Strongly agree

No

The party’s long-standing position is to keep FPTP for general elections, arguing it delivers clear outcomes; Conservative manifestos and leaders have repeatedly rejected PR for Westminster.

Strongly agree

No, we need strong majority governments, not chaotic coalitions.

Conservatives frequently argue FPTP enables decisive single-party government and avoids coalition instability; this was a prominent theme in Conservative rhetoric, especially after the 2010–15 coalition era.

Strongly agree

No, voters deserve a local representative, not a party bureaucrat chosen by elites.

The party strongly emphasises the constituency-MP link under FPTP and often criticises PR (especially closed lists) as increasing party control over candidates and weakening local accountability.

Agree

No, it allows dangerous extremist parties to hold the government hostage.

A common Conservative critique of PR is that it can empower smaller parties and lead to unstable bargaining; this argument featured in broader anti-reform messaging around electoral change debates.

Disagree

Yes, but adopt a "mixed system" that keeps local MPs while ensuring proportional fairness.

While a mixed system preserves local MPs, Conservatives have generally opposed introducing PR elements for Westminster; limited openness exists in some quarters, but it is not the party’s mainstream stance.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Conservatives have consistently defended First Past the Post for Westminster and opposed switching to PR; they campaigned against the 2011 AV referendum (a milder change than PR).

Strongly disagree

Yes, if a party earns 20% of the votes, they deserve 20% of the seats.

This is a core PR fairness argument, but Conservatives generally prioritise constituency link and governability over strict proportionality, and have not backed seat-vote proportional allocation for Westminster.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, the current "winner-takes-all" system is rigged and leaves millions voiceless.

Conservatives strongly dispute claims that FPTP is ‘rigged’; they typically defend it as legitimate and familiar, and opposed reform campaigns such as the 2011 AV push.
