The 14th general election could be the last using the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system as the Electoral Reform Committee (ERC) is looking into the possibility of replacing this with another system to ensure proportionate representation.

"There are a lot of complaints about FPTP being unfair. So we are studying a more proportionate system.
