Do you want to directly vote your MPs into parliament?

Currently, in South Africa, Members of Parliament (MPs) are not directly elected by the public; they are chosen from party lists based on the proportion of votes that each party receives in the national elections. This system means that citizens vote for a party, and the party leadership decides who represents them in Parliament. By moving to a system where citizens directly elect their MPs, voters would have a greater say in who represents their interests, allowing for a stronger connection between representatives and their constituencies. This would enhance accountability, as MPs would answer directly to the people who elected them, rather than to party bosses, ensuring that they serve their communities’ needs more effectively and transparently.
