New Zealand shows what happens when electoral reform is built to last. Ontario shows what happens when it is not. Proportional representation locks democratic reforms in. First-past-the-post lets governments erase them overnight.

When a government knows it cannot be easily voted out, accountability erodes. First-past-the-post turns minority support into unchecked power. Proportional representation changes the incentives and strengthens democratic oversight.

When politicians don't need to earn votes because they’re gerrymandered into safe seats, extremists can lock in power, and the will of the people matters less and less. 📽️ Watch and share this video on how proportional representation could change that. ⬇️

TLDR: Proportional representation would prevent the undemocratic allocation of federal seats away from parties that lost elections by narrow margins.

Congress could mandate that states use proportional representation, with parties getting a number of seats proportional to their share of the vote. Advocates are already pushing for some states to experiment with this reform.

⭐️ On Day 8 of 12 Days of Democracy, The Molotovs singer Issey Carts reveals another reason to demand a more democratic voting system. "So many perspectives don't get a hearing in Westminster. There's more to politics than binary choices and people are increasingly realising that."

"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? ✨

💥Electoral reform needed now ...as told by The @economist.com @makevotesmatter.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/nls1Q...

In 1996, the party with fewer votes formed government. In 2001, 58% of the vote produced 98% of the seats. British Columbia has lived with first-past-the-post distortion for decades. Proportional representation means seats match votes. Nothing more. Nothing less.

In Minnesota's 2025 elections, RCV did just what it is supposed to do: ☑️ give voters more choices ☑️ allow more candidates to run ☑️ ensure winners that are supported by a majority of voters

In June, over 1 million NYC voters used ranked choice voting in their primary elections. Voters embraced RCV, with 76% saying they want to keep or expand it! Learn how #RankedChoiceVoting delivered more choice & more voice for NYC ⬇️ fairvote.org/report/nyc-r...

🎄 We're on Day 6 of 12 Days of Democracy 🎄 Today Croydon councillor Ria Patel opens a gift and reveals another reason to support a fairer voting system. PR isn't radical. It's tried and tested. Watch to learn more!

The UK certainly needs tougher rules on political funding to prevent foreign interference and domination by oligarchs. But electoral reform to replace the outdated and unrepresentative FPTP with Proportional Representation is urgently needed ... before 2029! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reading @ariberman.bsky.social's Give Us the Ballot, I was struck by how much Voting Rights Act jurisprudence boiled down to the Court trying to force single-seat districts to behave like proportional representation. Just do PR already! www.liberalcurrents.com/the-american...

Proportional representation is more democratic than first past the post. Change that.

This is a moment that matters. The BC’s Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee has recommended an Electoral Reform Citizens' Assembly, but the government must decide whether to act. Visit your NDP MLA and show there is real support for proportional representation.

AfD polls similarly in Germany but is out of power. In the UK they would have a commanding majority in the commons It looks like Labour better pass proportional representation

All I want for Christmas is Proportional Representation! Well done, by the way.

It starts with a resolution...and ends with fair votes. We've just delivered over 250,000 signatures calling for First Past The Post to be scrapped by next Christmas🎄 📢 Share to make the call even louder! With @makevotesmatter.bsky.social @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social @electoralreform.bsky.social

❄️ It's Day 5 of 12 Days of Democracy ❄️ Today, actor Jason Flemyng reveals one of his reasons for supporting a proportional voting system. "Last year, 4 out of 10 people didn't vote. Why? Well, maybe they felt ignored by the system..." We all deserve a vote that counts ✨

That would require an election system that actually gives representation to ALL of the votes — for ALL of the parties — equal representation. The current system negates voters who choose an alternative party to the two establishment ones, suffocating change. Proportional Representation

✨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..." 👇

Today, the All-Party Parliamentary Group @appgfairelections.bsky.social held its Annual General Meeting. The APPG now brings together 158 MPs and peers, making it the largest in Parliament! With the Elections Bill coming soon, 2026 will be a crucial year for the campaign for fair votes.

Today in Parliament @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social shared his experience of visiting high schools in his constituency. One of the most common questions he gets is about changing the voting system. The Elections Bill will be an opportunity to listen to these young people and make their votes count

Despite real challenges – from gerrymandering wars to court battles – we’ve never felt more confident that the change our democracy needs is on the horizon. With your help, we can seize the moment & make elections better for all. More from @davedaley.bsky.social ⬇️ fairvote.org/why-im-hopef...

Your first election should feel exciting and empowering. But for many young people, that's not their experience. Together, we can change this. Please chip in to help transform the voting system - so that, next time, we can vote with hope and be heard. 👉 makevotesmatter.org.uk/2025-christm...

The data is clear: FPTP is the worst voting system for women's representation. The Inter-Parliamentary Union finds year after year that PR is associated with more gender-equal parliaments. Think of all the talented women that our system shuts out of politics, and the difference they could make.

🎄 It's day 2 of our 12 Days of Democracy 🎄 Every day, we open a present and reveal one reason to support a fairer voting system. Today is @zoejardiniere.bsky.social's turn...

Increasing the House would be good for other reasons but do very little about gerrymandering. State legislatures with much smaller districts are still badly gerrymandered. Proportional representation would make gerrymandering impossible, or Congress could impose strict limits on House redistricting

One MP switching parties should not be able to decide whether a government gets majority power. First-past-the-post turns small seat shifts into absolute power, even without majority support. Proportional representation keeps majority power tied to how people actually voted.

At a time of deep polarization & gridlock, we need to push Congress to lead, legislate, & govern together. The Ranked Choice Voting Act does that by bringing #RankedChoiceVoting to every U.S. House & Senate election. Learn more about the #RCVAct ⬇️

First Past the Post has made our elections a high-stakes and wildly unpredictable gamble

🎁 Today is Day 1 of 12 Days of Democracy 🎁 Every day, we will be opening a present and revealing one good reason to support a fairer voting system. Let's see what we've got today - and stay tuned for more!

Under first-past-the-post, a few ridings can decide everything. Proportional representation shifts power back to voters across the country and limits the ability of parties to win majorities with shrinking support. It strengthens accountability and reduces regional divisions.

💥Door-knocking and leafleting with NW Surrey @makevotesmatter.bsky.social supporters today to spread the message and get names for our latest petition. 💥SO MUCH SUPPORT for #proportionalrepresentation - it's a #DoorstepDemand ! 🙏Great fun and lovely to have so many encouraging conversations!

Layla Moran MP is a spot on. 👏👏👏 It’s way past time to GET PR DONE to MAKE VOTES MATTER ‘Make seats Match Votes’ #getPRdone #MakeVotesMatter #FairVotes #ProportionalRepresentation
