"It’s easy for politicians to blame the voters for choosing irresponsibly and letting this or that party in. But the reality is, people are tired of being treated as predictable voting blocs. They want a system that reflects the complexity of their views." MVM in @left-foot-forward.bsky.social 👇

@rmcunliffe.bsky.social has written this cracker of an article dissecting why we need Westminster to change our general elections to #ProportionalRepresentation . Up to date, thorough, covering the issues with authority and logic. A must read. #PRnow

We are today taking the message of Fair Votes to Penketh in West Warrington. #ProportionalRepresentation

🎥 NEW INTERVIEW 🎥 "We can't combat climate breakdown without a more effective democracy." @georgemonbiot.bsky.social spoke to Young MVM volunteer Hugo Harvey about how our dysfunctional voting system leads to a toxic political culture and undermines climate action. Watch here 👇

A new session of Parliament will start on Wednesday with the King's speech. Follow @propvoting.bsky.social to see which pieces of legislation are genuinely supported, and which only become law because of FPTP distortion. Stats from the previous session below.

Local “Democracy” results from Richmond & Twickenham. 51% gives single party control. ‘Control’ as in EVERY SINGLE SEAT for one single party. No opposition No challenges No alternative views. We need Proportional representation for local elections When do we want it; NOW #WakeUpWestminister

Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well. With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote. This needs to be a wake-up call.

In Birmingham's Tyseley and Hay Mills, a Green councillor won on 20.5% of the vote.

In Havering, Reform won 71% of the seats on 36% vote share. In Ealing, Labour won 66% of the seats on 30% of votes. In Westminster, the Tories won 59% of the seats on 35% of the vote. In Sutton, 44% of the vote gave the Lib Dems 93% of the seats. Under FPTP, whoever wins, the voters lose.

This is really something: a Labour-controlled Council backing a LibDem motion to ditch First Past The Post, and bring in Proportional Representation! Opposing official Lab policy? Only 2 Conservative Councillors voting against? #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation www.thestar.co.uk/community/yo...

We shouldn’t have to vote tactically. We shouldn’t have to painstakingly analyse small sample polls with huge error margins to figure out how to stop our least preferred candidate winning. We shouldn’t have to be bombarded with conflicting party propaganda about who is in front really. It’s madness.

🎙️LIVE: Whatever happens, tomorrow’s Gorton & Denton election results will shape the narrative on Labour’s leadership, the Greens’ rise and Reform’s threat. Join us live with @newstatesman1913.bsky.social’s @meganekenyon.bsky.social and political commentator Peter Kellner to unpack it all.

Too right. First Past The Post is a tangled abomination for democracy. Keeping it is holding Britain back. #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation

Reed is gaslighting here. His "very important direct relationship between MPs and their local constituents" is a fraud when most of them will have to bear an MP they didn't vote for

Lawson is right. Labour's Steve Reed is leading his party and the nation into an electoral minefield, pontificating to a wiser junior colleague in parliament yesterday that his government has "no plans" to change our voting system. Well, they'd better make some! Talk about fiddling while Rome burns

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?

Climate superstars calling for #ProportionalRepresentation for a better #Democracy #FairElections #PRnow www.totnes-today.co.uk/news/totnes-...

🔥 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
