Today marks International #DemocracyDay. 🗳Demand a fair proportional representation voting system, so that all votes count! #getPRdone #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentation

Today marks International #DemocracyDay. Democracy matters - and it cannot be taken for granted. Our voting system leaves swathes of people feeling powerless and fuels disillusionment, which can have dangerous consequences. Change can't wait. We need #PRnow.

What country would be crazy enough to have an election system that gives extremist parties 100% of the power with just 31% of the vote? This is what we’ll be telling parties to fix NOW if they want our votes in 2029. PR has popular support, and no cost to implement. Labour could do it right now.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

‘At last: a serious way to rescue our failing democracy’ “If Parliament were to grasp this nettle now, we could have a new, and more democratic, electoral system in place in time for the next general election in 2029.” StephenMcNair @eastangliabylines.co.uk eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/at...

When YouGov asked voters to rank parties: Lib Dems were in 80% of voters’ top 3. Reform came fifth for 50%. But, under FPTP, Reform could still win a majority. This is not democracy. Stephen McNair reports

Tomorrow is International Day of Democracy. When parties with just a third of the vote are winning big majorities our democracy is broken. MPs have a plan to fix it. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

"When electoral fragmentation meets Britain’s ancient first-past-the-post voting system, it produces unpredictable results." @getprdone.bsky.social @makevotesmatter.bsky.social Is British politics broken? Its centre is cracking www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

🌹 Labour's official policy recognises that First Past the Post is "flawed" and driving "distrust & alienation" in politics ⚠️ Now, multi-party politics is colliding with a 2-party system - and inaction is becoming untenable 🎯 We need a National Commission for Electoral Reform

5 parties on more than 12%, winner gains seat with under 30%. Results like this used to be rare, freak outliers. Now they are routine (there was a second just like this yesterday). Electoral chaos.

"When Westminster (...) pays billions on Covid contracts to mates of cabinet ministers, no one says “let’s abolish Westminster”. They argue to reform it, or change the voting system, but not that we should abolish UK democracy altogether." @getprdone.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If Farage becomes Prime Minister on 30% of the vote I wonder if Starmer will still believe he was right to defend our antiquated voting system?

In countries using proportional representation, parties are incentivised to work together collaboratively. They keep the 80% that works and try to fix the 20% that doesn't. With FPTP, parties scrap it altogether and take years to implement a new process with lots of flaws. #MakeVotesMatter

Fixed it! “ We were given a huge gift by the British public of a huge majority, ‘ON JUST 33.7% OF THE VOTES’ But now we are on 20% in the polls. We have to stop making mistakes and start listening ‘& INTRODUCE A PROPORTIONAL VOTING SYSTEM. SO THAT ALL VOTES COUNT.” @emilythornberry.bsky.social

"I've lived in safe seats all of my life. I've only had one MP who's ever responded to my letter." Does FPTP really guarantee a meaningful "constituency link"? Our CEO Emma Harrison addressed this and other myths on @quietriotpod.bsky.social. 🎧 Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/7BkT...

Labour won't be using First Past the Post to choose its new Deputy Leader. So why does the government keep telling us that it's the best system for electing MPs? 🤔

We’re over 10k. Thx folks! Now, could we possibly get to 100kin 2 weeks? Wouldn’t that be something? 13th Sept is deadline. We want to hear ALL our parties regularly -not just one. We elected a parliament &parliaments regardless of opinion polls. Sign sign sign petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

With multi party politics and five political parties polling double digits, the current first-past-the-post electoral system is clearly not fit for purpose. Just 34% of the votes cast could gift Reform U.K., 63% of the 650 MPs in the HoC. It’s time to GET PR DONE! #getPRdone

❓How disenfranchised is your area? Use our tool to find out! 👇 Most people in the UK aren't represented by an MP they voted for. Because of our voting system, their voices were simply ignored. Check how many people in your constituency have no voice in Parliament - and share your result!
