First Past the Post
Single Transferable Vote
Additional Member System
Supplementary Vote
Ensures a strong link between constituents and their MP
Multiple representatives in each constituency ensure very few are unrepresented
Maintains a constituency link while also being more proportional and having a single ballot
Ensures a candidate cannot win without more than 50% support from voters
Doesn't require complex calculations, so everyone can understand it
Allows voters to express a second preference
Reduces the likelihood of extreme parties winning representation
Far more proportional but can still allow majority government, such as in Scotland in 2011
Has historically produced majority governments in a two-party system
Can vote for parties on the 'party list' without having to think tactically
