  1. This refers to the general election for the house of commons (not local elections of Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish)

  2. An ammended version of FPTP which includes ranked choice will resolve to Yes. Or any other amendments that significantly change the way that people vote and how well parties do - I will decide this so slightly ambiguous.

  3. Any other systems will resolve to Yes eg Proportional representation (whether that's STV of some other system)

  4. If the system remains in place as it currently is by the 1st of Jan 2030 then this resolves to No

  5. A bill to change the voting systems needs to have passed before the date of Jan 1st 2030, so anything that is being debated will not be considered. However, there does not need to be an election with the system by 2030.

  6. Note: a change in the democratic structure eg abolishing the monarchy or the house of lords will resolve to No, even if an elected house of lords is elected by a non FPTP system
