“Samantha Dixon – and the Labour Government – could leave a lasting, positive legacy by introducing Proportional Representation and the forthcoming Elections Bill is the opportunity to do it.” www.newsletter.co.uk/your-world/d...

✉️ 100+ activists wrote personal Christmas cards to the Democracy Minister @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social, asking her to support a fairer voting system. So we went to her office in Chester to deliver them. Watch the video to hear some of the messages we sent + see thread for press coverage! 👇🧵

The door is opening wider and wider - join us with #compass #makevotesmatter #unlockdemocracy #electoralreform and make this happen! 2026 will be the year of democracy in the UK

"Some seats around the country haven't changed hands in over 100 years." On Day 7 of 12 Days of Democracy, councillor @carlcashman.bsky.social reveals one of his reasons to support the campaign for Proportional Representation. ...and what are your reasons? ✨

✨It's Day 4 of 12 Days of Democracy ✨ Today, Peter Tatchell opens a box and reveals another reason to support Proportional Representation: it can protect our democracy from extremism. "Our rights and freedoms are too precious..." 👇

Another in our fantastic series of Days of Democracy - thank you Peter for reminding us how important democracy is and how urgently we need to act!

💥 Excellent article in @economist.com about the absurdity of election results under FPTP - and its consequences: "When the country has lots of medium-size parties, the correlation between the number of votes in, and number of seats out, owes more to Las Vegas than to Edmund Burke." 💯💯

We're all set up at Lewes Labour's Ideas Market #Transformations. Come and have a chat with us and add your voice to our poster on why we need #ProportionalRepresentationNow !

At least the topic is being mentioned. It’s progress of a sort. But yet another indication that our leaders are too frit to listen.

An authoritative voice with a compelling message: we need a better form of politics based on a better voting system. The current nonsenses at No 10 are a perfect example of mess made by a government with a huge majority in the HoC and a tiny support base in the country. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

📰 NEW BLOG by our CEO Emma Harrison 👇👇👇 "The disconnect between this 21st-century electorate and our 19th-century voting system has never been clearer. The multi-party era has already arrived. The only question now is whether our voting system will catch up."

Lovely 😆! @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... "We've got to address the fact that millions of people vote in safe seats and they feel their voice doesn't count." Keir Starmer - 2020 @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labour4pr.bsky.social @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

"That's got to be addressed by electoral reform. We will never get full participation in our electoral system until we do that at every level" Keir Starmer 2020 @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 👇Plan👇 @appgfairelections.bsky.social 👆Plan👆 👉Now!👈 @labour4pr.bsky.social @makevotesmatter.bsky.social

The way the UK public is represented is truly a horror show. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social now!!

Well done to our activists and thank you for your support, @annadixonmp.bsky.social 🙌 “After decades of campaigning, it feels like PR is closer than ever”. We couldn't agree more 💪💪

Today is the International Day of Climate Action. 🌍 Protecting the climate and fixing our democracy have far more in common than it may seem. Young MVM coordinator Livvy explains why our voting system is a barrier to effective and popular environmental policies.👇

Great to hear support for electoral reform, but why no mention of the @appgfairelections.bsky.social ? This (huge) APPG of MPs from all parties are already promoting a commission on Electoral Reform - even published terms of reference last month! 👉👉 www.fairelections.uk/national-com...

He’s right. It has. And @makevotesmatter.bsky.social is focussed on making it come SOON! We cannot continue with a system which is now completely unfit for purpose. We must work for PR in place BEFORE the next General Election.

🗳️ What’s next in the fight for fair votes? 👏 We were delighted to co-host this fringe event with @libdems4er.bsky.social, discussing how our call for a National Commission on Electoral Reform can help deliver PR 🙏 A huge thanks to our panel and audience

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

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The decision to suspend the whip from four MPs for opposing cuts to welfare payments for disabled people is wrong - and has to be reversed. Sign the petition to demand their reinstatement: actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...

These aren’t anti-politicians, they’re the worst kind of politicians. No answers (remember these muppets still have no immigration policy at all), in the business of exploiting our country’s challenges never solving them

Angela Rayner declared “we are determined to make our elections fit for the future,” it’s hard to see how they can justify inaction on the voting system for Westminster. It looks like double standards: fairer elections for mayors, no such worry for MPs. labourlist.org/2025/07/firs...

This change is a sign, I devoutly hope, that the wheels of Government are gradually beginning to turn in the direction of proportional representation. As Emma says below, it’s time to take the next step!
