⚠️ Ministers must engage with UK voting system risks, say election experts 📈 Distortions of First Past the Post now “likely to be amplified to an unprecedented extent” 🧑‍🏫 50 leading academics warn the electoral system is “creating new risks for Britain”

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 50 leading academics, former senior public officials and politics, law and policy experts warn about the risks of First Past the Post. Letter in @politicshome.bsky.social today 👇

I've just signed "Back the National Commission Amendment" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ncer @OpenBritainHQ

Happy #ValentinesDay! 💘 May your love be out of proportion. But not your election results.

🏚️ "We are reaching a tipping point... Outdated institutions are dying hard and fast, and Westminster’s voting system is one of them." - Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP @jenny4suffcoast.bsky.social warns First Past The Post is headed for chaos #Labour4PR🌹 www.progressonline.org.uk/electoral-re...

🚨"Right now, Labour has the chance to lead this conversation and head off this issue. There is no time for complacency." Sean Woodcock MP & Jo Platt MP warn that FPTP is headed for chaos. ✍️ For @labourlist.bsky.social @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social @joplatt.bsky.social labourlist.org/2026/02/labo...

Representation of the People my arse! If the government won't ditch First Past The Post and introduce PR in this bill, it is continued Representation of a Minority of the People. #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

🚨BREAKING: The new Representation of the People Bill is here. The Bill aims to "restore trust in our democracy" - but it doesn't even touch the voting system that leaves millions unrepresented. 60% of Brits want to scrap First Past the Post. Tell Starmer to include electoral reform in the Bill ⬇️

Spot on. The bill is mostly window dressing. Without addressing the single biggest deficiency of our democracy, this government shows their contempt for the electorate AND their Labour Party members

Too right. The main impact of this bill will be to give more people a meaningless vote as it won't represent them any better in parliament. The government must ditch First Past The Post and introduce PR before our democracy collapses into electoral chaos. #ProportionalRepresentation #PRnow

‘Representation of the People Bill’ without proportional representation is a joke. And not a funny one 😤 We need the National Commission on electoral reform included in the bill. 🚨Please sign petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

Today, the government is bringing forward their landmark Representation of the People Bill. It's got plenty of good ideas, but there is a glaring omission. They're calling it the Representation of the People Bill, but it will keep the voting system that fails to represent the people. buff.ly/UfLUKhW

‘Representation of the People’ without Proportional representation is a joke. And not a funny one 😤 Let us at least have the ‘National Commission’ looking into upgrading our election system. #ElectionBill

No wonder we keep getting governments that most of the public want gone. "Only a fifth of the eligible electorate actually voted for the current majority government." Under First Past the Post, that's enough for a "landslide". @robfordmancs.bsky.social for @ukandeu.bsky.social 👇

“We consider that the electoral system no longer serves the interests of UK business in generating growth." Last week, @financialtimes.com published a letter from 20+ business leaders, calling for electoral reform. It's great to see the business community join this conversation 👇

📉 Growth and economic stability are at odds with political instability 🚨 Business leaders raise the alarm on First Past the Post in the @financialtimes.com today ➡️ To avoid chaos and for a fair democracy, Westminster needs #ElectoralReform www.ft.com/content/422f...

"Evidence shows that PR leads to higher turnout, more representative governments and more stable policymaking." Yesterday in Parliament, several MPs raised the urgent need to fix our voting system. Thank you @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social @lisasmartmp.bsky.social 👏👏👏

💯 “It’s so clear that we need a new system, fit for the 21st century, and the conversation amongst MPs is shifting from "if" to "when" and "how". As a first step the Government should set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform” 🌹 @alexsobel.co.uk #Labour4PR

Does the House of Commons need to change to reflect a more fragmented politics? On 19 January, join @elliechowns.bsky.social, @courtenayilbert.bsky.social and @louisevthompson.bsky.social to discuss smaller parties in the Commons at our free, online event. Sign up 👉 www.ucl.ac.uk/social-histo....

🎄And we're now on Day 9 of 12 Days of Democracy! Today's Santa - @femi-oluwole.bsky.social - will reveal another reason why we need a fair voting system in 2026. Let's talk about... Hope. ⭐️

✉️ 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! 👇🧵

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 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 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!

🎰 “When First Past the Post collides with multiparty competition, the electoral slot machine spins into operation” ⚠️ A stark warning from the @economist.com that the “unfairness of FPTP could undermine the legitimacy of the governments it produces”

💥 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." 💯💯

Every week, more voices in the media are coming out against First Past the Post. @fromtga.bsky.social is right: FPTP could allow any kind of dangerous populist to take power on a minority of the vote, or by taking over the ruling party. PR would help safeguard our democracy.

First Past the Post keeps promising stability and delivering chaos. Governments are elected on a minority of the vote. They impose their agenda without listening to or negotiating with anyone. They fail and collapse. Rinse and repeat. There is a better way. It's time for PR.

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

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 !

"The electoral system is at breaking point." - argued @alexsobel.co.uk, Chair of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, on @iaindale.bsky.social show. In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy. We need PR more than ever.

💯 “The electoral system is at breaking point now, because we're in this multi-party system, because of political fragmentation.” 🎙️ @alexsobel.co.uk, chair of the @appgfairelections.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk #CrossQuestion

🚨 The government is preparing a new Elections Bill, promising to strengthen Britain's democracy. But it currently fails to address the elephant in the room: the voting system. We're asking the Democracy Minister @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social to fix this. Add your name and share ✍️

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.👇

📢 Do the Government's electoral reforms go far enough? 📺 Looking forward to this @conunitucl.bsky.social event featuring APPG member @catsmithmp.bsky.social 🎯 Ministers must go further: from a truly independent regulator, to a National Commission on Electoral Reform 🔗 ucl.ac.uk/social-histo...

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...

All set to engage with the people of Warrington on the need to change the electoral system to one where every vote counts equally. #PRnow #Warrington

Today we are engaging with the people of Chester, encouraging them to tell their local MPs, one of whom happens to be Minister for Democracy @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social they want a fairer voting system. #PRnow #Chester

Zack Polanski on PR and Farage

In 2029, more people will be eligible to vote than ever before. But it could also be the year in which more voices than ever are ignored. That is, unless we change the voting system so that everyone can be heard. Read Bertie's blog here: makevotesmatter.org.uk/news/2025/10...

Nine jobs Nigel Farage hasn't updated his ­register of interests in months. Potentially hundreds of thousands of ££££ from his many "outside interests" remain undeclared observer.co.uk/news/politic...

“There’s nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come - and PR’s time has come.” 💬 @andyburnham.bsky.social 🌹 #Labour4PR #Lab25

“I'm here to endorse the Labour for a New Democracy call for a National Commission in this parliament - and a manifesto commitment to a system of Proportional Representation to be introduced into Westminster elections in the next Parliament.” 🌹 @andyburnham.bsky.social

🗳️ 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 are all getting set along with MVM Sefton and West Lancs and MVM Manchester to engage with the public at the Wigan Diggers Festival on Fair Votes. #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation
