In a First Past The Post voting system, only those votes in marginal constituencies count, other votes don't matter because they won't affect the outcome. Only (votes in) swing states matter. A proportional system would mean that a greater proportion, all, votes would count and matter.
To make votes matter, we should have Proportional Representation.

Only the swing votes in the swing states count. The least informed and engaged 8% of voters get to make the choices for all of us.
