"By right, FPTP candidates should be selected bottom-up by local branches, not party headquarters," said Bersih 2.0. The group also said it was time to consider if elections should be done via the FPTP system, or if the country should employ other systems. The FPTP system means that a candidate wins the seat if he or she gets the most votes. The first vote is to select the political party while the second vote is to choose the candidate they wish to fill the seat. However, the inflexibility of the FPTP system makes it hard for political parties to adjust their leadership line-up.
