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.

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’ 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.

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 🤷♂️

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

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.
