What a busy day! Thanks to everyone who visited our stall to talk about the urgent need for #ProportionalRepresentation in UK elections - including Stella Creasy MP who stopped for a quick chat on the importance of keeping local representation in the voting system. #MakeVotesMatter

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "Need a fair and honest voting system that will help restore faith in democracy." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "Need to bring back more connection & trust with the political system." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "Because it's the best and fairest system." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "We need a voting system that is more representative of votes cast. Every vote must count, and let's end tactical voting." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? " It's fairer and more democratic." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "Our current First Past The Post system is UNJUST and leaves most people VOICELESS - causing hopelessness and even fomenting extremism." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow #Transformations

Why should Labour bring in Proportional Representation NOW? "Well, considering Conference voted for PR and it's part of policy, let's actually be democratic and do what we voted for." #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentationNow

We're looking forward to holding a stall at Lewes Labour's Ideas Market "Transformations" today, to talk about why Labour should bring in Proportional Representation NOW. If you're at the event, please come and say hello and add your voice to our poster. #ProportionalRepresentation

Totally agree @mvm-sussex.bsky.social

Great to see the MP for Mid Sussex, Alison Bennett, supporting #ProportionalRepresentation in Parliament today!

'A fair voting system is an essential bedrock of a functioning democracy' - Spot on Sarah Olney MP And in a symbolic vote, that is what MPs have just voted for: #ProportionalRepresentation. Next, the government must agree to a National Commission on electoral reform.

"This is the most disproportionate election result that this country has ever seen." Congratulations to Sarah Olney whose PR Bill has passed to second reading 👏👏👏 She's right: we urgently need a fairer system where all votes matter. Help win it 👉 makevotesmatter.org.uk/2024-winter-crowdfunder/

Very exciting happenings in Parliament today!

We could not be prouder of our newly elected LDER President, Sarah Olney MP - who today moved a Private Members Bill for #ProportionalRepresentation in Parliament. And we could not be more delighted by the support across parties that helped it PASS! Woohoo! 🎉🎉🎉 youtube.com/watch?v=HlJZ...

I was proud to support this Bill in the House of Commons today. It is a significant step in the right direction on long-overdue reform to our unfair and outdated electoral system. @libdems.org.uk www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Exciting developments! The launch of the cross-party #APPG for #FairElections, which has called for a national commission looking into replacing FPTP with a system which is proportional and gives people equal votes! @appgfairelections.bsky.social

Really good to meet with politicians from Labour Lib Dems Greens and Conservatives (any others I missed?) to agree our democratic recession needs to be fixed - beginning with a Fair Voting system

We are thrilled to be joining cross-party members of the #APPG for #FairElections @appgfairelections.bsky.social and allies in democracy organisations at tonight's launch - an exciting moment in the fight for electoral reform.

💥 Fantastic to see the @appgfairelections.bsky.social calling for a 'National Commission for Electoral Reform' 🌹 We're proud to say that a majority of the group's more than 100 members are Labour MPs 💪 The Labour movement is firmly in favour of fair votes 🧵 1/5

"Are we really comfortable with a situation where a party – even an extreme party – can win a...majority with just three out of 10 votes? Because if things continue, that’s where we’re heading.” @alexsobel.co.uk is bang on. Ludicrous to suggest first past the post will protect us from extremism.

NEW: Rory Stewart & Amber Rudd back cross-party campaign demanding major political reform @appgfairelections.bsky.social is calling for an overhaul of the electoral system as part of a package of measures to restore public trust in politics Story 👇 www.politics.co.uk/news/2024/11...

💯 First Past the Post, dark money & disinformation are interconnected, reinforcing each other to the detriment of British democracy. Together, they explain why trust in politics has collapsed, with fewer than 1 in 3 believing the system works. 🖋️ @gavinesler.bsky.social ahead of tonight's launch

📢 The APPG has called on the Government to launch a national commission for electoral reform, with a mandate to recommend a "fair and democratic voting system" It also calls for a clampdown on donation loopholes & new transparency requirements about how social media platforms handle disinformation

🌪️ "This year less than 6 in 10 votes went to either Labour or the Conservatives combined, while over 12 million people chose other parties. When this happens under First Past the Post the system breaks down – & wild things happen" 🖊️ Our APPG Vice Chair @elliechowns.bsky.social

"When it comes to election time, people realise the system really is important. We need to have that conversation now, rather than a few weeks before an election when people are most politically engaged." Deputy Leader of the London Assembly Conservatives, Emma Best

We're kicking off our launch event in Westminster! @gavinesler.bsky.social introducing our three focus areas: 🗳️ First Past the Post 💷 Dark money 📰 Disinformation

💥 Cross-party MPs call for a 'National Commission for Electoral Reform' 📰 Report by the new All-Party Parliamentary Group for @appgfairelections.bsky.social out now! 📈 New group has over 100 members and is backed by senior Labour and Conservative figures 🧵 1/7

Thanks to all who stopped to talk & vote in our poll at Lewes Labour's Ideas Market "How to Transform an Unequal Britain". Really good to hear strong support for #ProportionalRepresentation. An equal society requires equal votes for all. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

The top 10 freest countries use proportional representation. Freedom starts with a fair democracy where every vote counts. Canada can—and should—do better.
