"When people feel unheard, populism finds fertile ground. Populism isn’t inherently bad - but when democratic systems fail, anger festers." Important blog by our CEO Emma Harrison. The task of fixing our broken democracy looks more urgent every day.

We wanted to mark this in the actual Market Cross location. The suffragist Great Pilgrimage is a great example of different types of people coming together to effect positive democratic change. We need to do the same now more than ever. #DemocracyDay #PRnow

Britain's democracy is in crisis. Our First Past the Post voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants. This #DemocracyDay, we're calling for a fairer system where every vote counts. It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

All set up in #Brampton. Lots of interest and some signups already 🙂. #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentation #EqualVotesNow

Great speeches. Great Rally. Momentum is with us! We will keep on pushing for electoral system change to Proportional Representation. #PRnow

!WAKE UP! !WAKE UP! @keirstarmer.bsky.social !! Don't keep our broken First Past the Post electoral system. It doesn't work for *any* party & will split & waste even more votes. #distrust & #alienation We need a national commission now! @makevotesmatter.bsky.social @appgfairelections.bsky.social

What a day! Finishing off with a well deserved pint (or two). Lots of conversations. Lots of badges, leaflets and beer mats given out. Lots of visibility. Lots of ongoing conversations to be had and leaflets to be given out too. Well done Cumbria and Lancaster #PRnow

Great day so far, just one stop in Lancaster to go. We'll be where Penny Street meets Market Street in just over half an hour. See you there? #PRnow

The vote share needed to win a majority in Parliament is getting lower and lower. Whether it's Labour, the Tories or Reform: full control of our laws, our public services and foreign policy should never be in the hands of someone most people don't support. We need #PRnow.

It's a year since the most disproportionate General Election result in British history. We're marking this anniversary with a BIG action tomorrow. Here's some of the coverage we've got about it so far 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain. Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode. Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in. Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard. We need #PRnow

We should feel empowered to vote according to our beliefs and preferences. First Past the Post forces us to make the difficult choice to vote tactically. electoral-reform.org.uk/whats-wrong-...

Solidarity! BlueSky users of Cumbria, if you want #proportionalrepresentation - and so many people say they do - helping out your local branch is so important! MPs and representatives need to know it's an issue we care about. It's positive, it's logical and it SHOULD be so achievable

Hello Bluesky! We're looking to add to the voices pushing for #ProportionalRepresentation in the UK. It's much needed as our current electoral system is not fit for modern times (if it ever was). We need to network, share ideas, and combine our voices to change the system ✊🏼.
