Raising the flag (well, banner actually) outside Reading station. We had competition from Christmas shopping, but managed to give out some leaflets before retreating to The Pantry for a catch-up and chinwag.

💥 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." 💯💯

72.8% agreed: democracy must be defended at all costs. But many weren't happy with the way it currently works.
"Change the voting system" was proposed as one of the solutions. We agree.

We deserve better than governments that 2/3 of the public voted against, or MPs that 3/4 of their constituents didn't choose.
We deserve better than to be ignored over and over again, because of where we live or who we support.
We all deserve better than First Past the Post.
