Great to see Make Votes Matter and Compass local groups campaigning together in York to persuade the Labour government to rid us of undemocratic First Past The Post before it's too late! #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

Too right Billy. Jake only regurgitates worn-out nonsense: the claim that people's votes having no consequence, no agency, no effect on electing an MP who will promote their views, is somehow "democracy" 🤷‍♂️ #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

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...

This is @dinosdonteathorses.bsky.social's dream youtu.be/SDP7EnM7kto?...

🏚️ "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 Outdated institutions are dying hard and fast, and Westminster’s voting system is one of them."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...

It's barmy of the government to table their new Representation of the People Bill without addressing the fact that our First Past The Post elections only give representation in parliament to a minority of the people! #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

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

What do #TraitorsUK and UK politics have in common? 👀 More than you might think... Democracy shouldn't be a game. Share if you agree 👇 #Traitors #TheTraitorsUK

Coalition governments, when they become the electoral norm under a proportional voting system, mean better long term thinking rather than see-saw politics. These business leaders can see it #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. Go on, you know you want to do it too, here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social

✉️ 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! 👇🧵

The Minister in charge of Britain's Democracy should take note... northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/pr-... #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

2026 is going to be an interesting year if the likes of The Economist are picking up on this crucial issue for the UK... www.youtube.com/shorts/nls1Q... #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation #Democracy

💥 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." 💯💯

One more statistic? In the last 12 months, 47% of 324 divisions held in the Commons would have changed aye/no result, if seats matched votes -- including every vote on the budget resolutions. That is, in these votes, opposing MPs represented more people but the government won anyway 🤷‍♂️

Headline on The World at One just now: "Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap". Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it: A 6–8% hit to GDP That's £180bn-£240bn a year It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything. Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Now over 68,000

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.

The government are complacent and tin-eared about the undemocratic disaster they are leading us into for the next general election. Sign and share this petition for #PRnow

Well said, Anna Dixon #PRnow

The way the UK public is represented is truly a horror show. @makevotesmatter.bsky.social now!!

Quite so... it's LONG past time for Proportional Representation. How long is it going to take to dawn on the Labour Party? If they don't give the people #PRnow, First Past The Post is going to bite them in the __😧

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.👇

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

Over 80% of Labour Party members and two-thirds of trade union memberships want to ditch First Past The Post for Fair Elections in which voters' votes all count equally. So what's holding the government back? Answer: Greed for outright power and hubris that they can win again! #PRnow

⚠️ "In our fragmented politics and with our electoral system, 31% could be enough" 💬 John Curtice on the possibility of Farage winning a majority on a historic low share of the vote 🌹 #Labour4PR

Thank you to everyone who came to our panel event at Labour Conference last evening. It was fantastic to see the room so packed, and the mood so inspired. Here are some of the highlights of the event, in case you missed them. 🧵

“The APPG for Fair Elections is now the biggest in Parliament and we really want to support the Government in building consensus about the way forward.” 💬 @alexzurclark.bsky.social of @labour4pr.bsky.social speaking at our fringe event with @thefabians.bsky.social and @appgfairelections.bsky.social

Hugely encouraging enthusiasm, expertise & optimism from our panel this afternoon Many thanks @thefabians.bsky.social & @labour4pr.bsky.social & to our chair @drsarahyde.bsky.social When MPs return to Parliament, we'll be stepping up the campaign for a National Commission on Electoral Reform

Could we have this now, please, rather than waiting for "Reform UK" to win a FPTP election with 33% of the vote and watching them ruin the country for five years?

Speaking to members at our #Lab25 stall, it's clear as ever that electoral reform has the overwhelming support of: 🌹 Labour members 🛠️ Affiliated trade unions 📍 Constituency Labour Parties 🎪 Annual conference 🏦 Parliament's biggest APPG It's time for fair votes #Labour4PR

“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

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

Britain's First Past The Post makes a mockery of 'one person, one vote' because our votes are grotesquely unequal, giving us a parliament that misrepresents how we all voted. It's why our politics are broken. #DemocracyDay #PRnow

We wanted to mark this in the actual Market Cross location. The suffragist Great Pilgrimage is a great example of different types of people coming together to effect positive democratic change. We need to do the same now more than ever. #DemocracyDay #PRnow

"With a record 60% of the public in favour of changing how we elect Parliament, Labour must take action. Our APPG – the largest all-party group – urges the Government to establish a National Commission on Electoral Reform without delay." 📢 APPG for Fair Elections Chair, @alexsobel.co.uk

Announcing our live event in November. Featuring: George Monbiot - journalist and author Anthea Simmons - co-founder of the South Devon Primary Jonathon Porritt - former director of Friends of the Earth Klina Jordan - former CEO of Make Votes Matter mvm-totnes-time-for-real-change.eventbrite.co.uk

📢 “Isn't it also time for a National Commission on Electoral Reform?” 👏 Great to see Labour MPs like Euan Stainbank, @simonforstroud.bsky.social & Olivia Blake calling for the Government to address First Past the Post for general elections 🌹 We need Proportional Representation #Labour4PR

All set up in #Brampton. Lots of interest and some signups already 🙂. #MakeVotesMatter #ProportionalRepresentation #EqualVotesNow

Listen up, all MPs, whichever party you are! Here's someone telling it straight! Every one of you and all voters should want this... www.facebook.com/reel/6693418...

I emailed my MP, asking them to join the debate on 2 Sept and speak out in support of scrapping FPTP for Mayoral elections. Use this tool by @makevotesmatter.bsky.social @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social @compassoffice.bsky.social @openbritain.bsky.social to do the same actionnetwork.org/letters/devo...

84% of Labour Party members want the government to end the two-child benefit limit. In a country as wealthy as the UK, allowing child poverty to deepen is a political choice. Labour must choose differently. @compassoffice.bsky.social polling & motion in LabourList: labourlist.org/2025/08/end-...

So, once again, around half of what British governments have passed into law was not supported by most people! #PRnow

Britain needs voter reform. Britain does not need governments winning 63.2% of the seats on 33.7% of the vote. Britain needs a representative voting system. Please sign and share this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

👀 Today the government launches its strategy for “Restoring Trust in our Democracy” 🕳️ What’s missing is any plan to fix our untrustworthy First Past The Post system 🌹 James Naish MP, Member of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, joins calls for a National Commission for Electoral Reform #Labour4PR

"I do want to echo some of the comments around Proportional Representation... will the Minister keep an open mind, look at other strong democracies around the world, and see how they've been able to use PR to strengthen their democracy" 🌹 @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social #Labour4PR

🚨 First Past The Post is driving record distrust in politics 🐘👈 The Government’s new Elections Strategy ignores the elephant in the room: Westminster’s voting system is broken #Labour4PR
