Change voting system before next election, Davey urges Burnham 👍https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79y9qy9y2go

Andy Burnham has a chance to fix our broken political system now, before it is too late. Introduce proportional representation, give everyone an equal vote and an equal voice in our democracy, and make sure no politician or political party can afford to take them for granted ever again.

Lib Dem leader @eddavey.libdems.org.uk will appeal directly to Mr Burnham to collaborate, asserting that if Mr Burnham is "serious about changing the way we do politics" including electoral reform, then his "door is open" - The right approach 👏👏👏 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

You don't need a VAR check to know that First Past the Post is not playing fair. There's been enough warnings. Time to send it off.

Andy Burnham urged to change the UK’s voting system before it is ‘too late’

Chris Curtis MP said, "You don't have to be Harry Kane to see what an open goal this is for him"

"First Past the Post has now become a chaos multiplier."

💬 "This is the most supported amendment in this Parliament by a distance." @alexsobel.co.uk spoke to @hansardsociety.bsky.social podcast about ways to strengthen the Representation of the People Bill, including his amendment on electoral reform. 🎧 Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/0Alv...

"Three quarters of unions, two-thirds of members and a new generation of Labour MPs support electoral reform." 🌹Labour MPs @andymacnaemp.bsky.social & @lizzicollinge.bsky.social call on @andyburnham.bsky.social to launch a Commission in @thehousemag.bsky.social www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

If we truly want stable, credible, trusted government, we need a voting system that reflects how people actually vote. A representative parliament is the rock that can provide the foundation for successful government.

IMO electoral reform is the single most important issue that needs to be addressed. Today. Not in 3 years time.

Let's go for within his first 10 days! 😁

Some things Norway has that we're a little jealous of: ✅ A fair, proportional voting system ✅ 57% trust in their government ✅ Over 75% turnout in general elections ✅ The same Prime Minister since 2021 (while we're about to get our fifth...) ✅ Erling Haaland

"I'm delighted to join colleagues in calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. We need fair elections in Westminster. We need a different type of politics that unites rather than divides, that delivers greater stability to government and rekindles trust in politics” Miatta Fahnbulleh MP

📈 174 MPs have now signed 🌹 93 of them Labour 💥 Let's make First Past the Post history

Beccy Cooper joins Labour MPs encouraging Andy Burnham to launch a National Commission on Electoral Reform within his first 100 days as Prime Minister 👇 @drbeccycoopermp.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social #Labour4PR 🌹 #ProportionalRepresentation #FPTP

💥 THIS IS HUGE! The electoral reform amendment tabled by @alexsobel.co.uk is now the single biggest amendment since the general election. 166 MPs from 8 parties have added their names - a quarter of the House of Commons. The system isn't working and the new PM needs to make this a priority.

Over one in four MPs are calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform 🚀 With 166+ signatories, the amendment is the biggest since the 2024 election 🌹 Signatories include 88 Labour MPs, over 1/3 of backbenchers www.politics.co.uk/news/2026/07...

“What I think a move to a proportional system would do is it would allow new politics to come in, where parties that can agree can set a long term approach so repairing the basics, building the council and social homes that we need as a country over a 10 yr period” www.politics.co.uk/news/2026/07...

WATCH: @alexsobel.co.uk encourage Angela Rayner to join the many dozens of Labour MPs backing a National Commission on Electoral Reform 👇

“The success of the Burnham project will depend on changing our politics, bringing good growth to all of Britain & delivering this as a long-term project with time enough to succeed. First Past the Post, if retained, threatens to scupper these conditions.” 🌹 Great article by Samuel Kind #Labour4PR

⚽️ We've hit the goal! Now we're playing for more. You have until 9pm to donate to our crowdfunder and help fund the movement for a fair voting system. There will be no extra time - chip in now 👇

“Things change in this country when ordinary people say 'we demand change'. This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder at the moment. I think there is that level of consensus that we can't carry on with the system we currently have.” 🗨️ Angela Rayner on LBC this morning

Thank you for speaking out about this 💪

"Introduce proportional representation ahead of the next general election" YES! 😍 @makevotesmatter.bsky.social ! !

📺 WATCH: Angela Rayner says there's a "consensus that we can't carry on with the system that we currently have". "This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder from the grassroots." PR really feels like an idea whose time has come 💪

We are alongside MVM Chester and Compass Cheshire near the Chester Festival of Ideas, making the case the the time for Proportional Representation has come. #ProportionalRepresentation

Since Harry Kane made his debut for England, we've had six different Prime Ministers - and counting. How many more will we get before the next World Cup? 👀

💥 150 MPs have now signed the amendment calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform 🌹 Over 80 of them are Labour MPs - and counting ⏰ It's time for Proportional Representation

🚀 Brilliant that Polly Billington MP has joined the almost 1/3 of Labour backbench MPs calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform @pollybillington.bsky.social #ProportionalRepresentation #Labour4PR 🌹

Proportional Representation would mean that: ❤️ Everyone can vote with their heart 🗳️ No vote is ignored ⚖️ A broad range of views are heard in Parliament 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Parties are encouraged to work together and find common ground The new Prime Minister should make it a priority.

Great speech from @andyburnham.bsky.social on the "need to change politics"! 🤝 Proportional Representation is key to “reaching across Parliament to find common ground" & mending Westminster’s broken culture 📌 Britain needs a National Commission on Electoral Reform www.youtube.com/live/j9Snx_B...

This morning Andy Burnham attacked Westminster's short-termism and point-scoring. He called for a more collaborative way of doing politics. We agree. But this culture shift won't happen without systemic change. Transforming politics starts with replacing our winner-takes-all voting system.

Nice passer by took this photo of our stand at #ReadingWaterFest yesterday. We got his signature after! Lots of interesting conversations!

Under First Past the Post, it is not the popularity of parties that shapes outcomes but their popularity in relation to their competitors. That's how Labour turned a third of the vote into two-thirds of seats in 2024, and Reform UK could benefit next time.

Dark tarmac absorbs heat all day before radiating it back into the surrounding air. Now imagine that same car park beneath a solar canopy instead. The Government has quietly dropped plans that could have encouraged exactly that.

❗️More than 140 MPs now back @alexsobel.co.uk's amendment for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. 📢 Yesterday in Parliament, MPs made the case for it during a debate about the future of the UK's voting system. 👉 Full list of signatories: bills.parliament.uk/bills/4080/s...

You can also sign my parliamentary petition supporting the National Commission here- petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

81 Labour MPs – 20 per cent of the Parliamentary Labour Party – have signed an amendment calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform, "the largest ever call for voting system change by Labour backbenchers" Labour for a New Democracy says.

Supporters of the status quo keep crying that First Past the Post produces strong and stable governments, denying the reality in front of our eyes. Even a 174-seat majority can't create stability, because stability comes from a popular mandate.

Keir Starmer’s resignation is the latest product of the chaos of First Past the Post electoral-reform.org.uk/keir-starmer... Electoral Reform Society – ERS
