  1. Electoral reform will increase democratic accountability in the UK. 1. Free automatic voter registration for all eligible voters. 2. Minimum voting age could be 16 years of age. 3. Use full proportional representation using the D'Hondt regional list electoral system. The D'Hondt regional list electoral system demonstrates a fair system that allocates representatives and political parties based on votes cast. 4. Extend voting times and dates so people can have time to choose the day of their vote in person to allow more people to vote including sending all voting papers by 1st class post with 1st class prepaid return envelopes. Extend postal vote periods to allow more votes to be returned. 5. Ban IDOX system of postal votes to ensure accountability or if this is not possible than have IDOX system nationalised and made fully independent. 6. Extend voting rights to all voting age British citizens outside UK but ban donations from voters outside the UK to protect voters from outside the UK and ensure electoral accountability and ban political donations from those outside the UK to politicians and political parties in the UK. 7. Reopen nomination option on voting papers that allows for voters to choose to reopen nominations if they are unhappy with the candidates and parties listed on voting papers. The reopen nominations option would allow for the election to be reheld in those areas where the majority of votes choose to reopen nominations. 8. Introduce a wealth cap on candidates to ensure immensely wealthy candidates with immense wealth at a level determined by the people such as GBP £2 million wealth for all elected politicians including councillors, MPs and elected mayors. A wealth cap would count all personal wealth, household wealth, family wealth, property, assets and all trusts including blind trusts included in the wealth cap. The wealth cap would prevent the rise of political oligarchs and work to better represent the people. Elected politicians including MPs, councillors and elected mayors would be banned from 2nd jobs and banned from other jobs to ensure elected politicians represent their constituents not billionaires not oligarchs and not global corporations.
