Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10. We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

Ed Davey wants to 'work with government' on electoral reform - BBC News

“Britain deserves an electoral system that treats voters with respect. One where the link between votes and power is clear, and where stability comes from shared purpose, not artificial majorities.” #getPRdone electoral-reform.org.uk/latest-yougo...

Last year, writes Stephen McNair, Labour won 63% of seats with just 34% of the vote. That’s not democracy – it’s distortion. The Dutch election this week proves proportional voting can deliver stable coalitions that reflect the real will of the people.

It’s time to end the nightmare of the first-past-the-post voting system

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation. Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs. Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

Now we have multiple parties attracting millions of votes , then the risk of a party getting less than 30% of electoral votes becoming the dominant party has dramatically increased . Starmer should commit to PR , would really shake Reform up

🗳 This latest poll has Reform U.K. potentially forming a majority government on just 27% of votes cast. 😱 It’s time to end the ‘nightmare’ results of the first-past-the-post voting system! 💀👻🎃 #getPRdone #MakeSeatsMatchVotes #PropotionalRepresentation

It's Halloween and Westminster is looking spooky... 🎃💀 Here are some of the creatures haunting the House of Commons under First Past the Post:

Millions of voters are forced to vote tactically, for the least worst option under the wacky maths of the first-past-the-post voting system. It’s way past-time to “Make All Votes Count” #getPRdone to #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentation

Vote tactically or Reform will win. Vote tactically or Plaid will win. Vote tactically or... We're hearing it in Caerphilly today. We've heard it a million times before. Under PR, we could just vote for whoever we support - and every vote would count. Sounds better, doesn't it?

Yes #GetPRDone #MakeVotesMatter Like millions of voters - 🗳 I want my vote to count > I don’t want to vote Tactically for the least worst option >or be governed by one single party gaining a large majority on as little as 30% or less. 50%+ should be the minimum #ProportionalRepresentation

60% of voters now support electoral reform, according this year’s British Attitudes Survey, the highest level of support since records began. Just 36% of people believe we should keep the current system. #ProportionalRepresentation #getPRdone www.fairelections.uk/record-publi...

Four parties within a 5 point swing of first place and five parties on 12% plus. This would be pure chaos under first past the post.

Is this what we really want? It is now essential for Labour to use their majority for a once in a lifetime chance to bring in PR for parliamentary elections. Wake up Starmer, smell the coffee, it's PR or lose the next election.

Fast forward to 2029: Reform U.K. win a majority and form a government with 💯% of the power on approx 30% (or -) of the votes cast. #FPTP They can then implement the Reform U.K./Tory policy of leaving the ECHR, against the wishes of the majority of voters. #ECHR #getPRdone

Just imagine🤔: with Proportional Representation the Green Party could gain approx 65 MPs on around 10% of votes cast. #Greens4PR #getPRdone

"As Reform climb in the opinion polls, it is evident that they, like the Labour Party, could win on 34% of the vote," warns our CEO Emma Harrison at the @labour4pr.bsky.social rally. Or less - recent polls show them winning on as little as 25% of the vote. We have no time to waste. We need PR now.

"I'd love to throw it in the bin." At #LabourConference2025, Livvy from Young Make Votes Matter asked Labour members about their opinions on the First Past the Post voting system. Here's what they had to say 👇

Reform can win the next election on around 30% of the vote. Starmer clearly hopes that most people will vote tactically to keep Reform out so that Labour wins on around 30% of the vote. Risky and cynical. We need #PR BEFORE the next election!

Never to miss an opportunity to repeat this meme & to promote the campaign for proportional representation😉 Carol Vorderman also says: “Get PR Done!”

At the 2022 Labour Conference, Labour members overwhelmingly passed a motion in support of Proportional Representation. Starmer: “It’s not a Priority.” In multi-party elections, where a single party can gain a majority on under 30% of vote cast, it’s a priority to #getPRdone

‘It’s not a priority’? 😠 It is! ALL votes should count EQUALLY,wherever you live +whoever you vote for! Millions who voted found that their vote didn’t matter, because of First Past the Post! The only countries left in Europe to use First Past the Post like this are 🇬🇧 +Belarus! B E L A R U S! 😡

The First-Past-The-Post Voting System (#FPTP) is dysfunctional in a multi-party democracy! #ElectoralDysfunction There is a remedy: #ProportionalRepresentation #getPRdone

“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

One paradox of our fragmented politics is that Labour going directly after Reform may make defeat to Reform more likely, if such a strategy alienates progressives who have exit options but doesn’t win any reform voters, who will generally prefer OG Farage to a half-hearted tribute act
