Make Votes Matter

The campaign for Proportional Representation at UK general elections. Promoted by Make Votes Matter, 27 Old Gloucester Street, WC1N 3AX.
"I wonder how many people are prepared to play by the system in the future, when you take into account that (...) 1 in 5 of the nation actually voted for the government."

It was great to speak to Nigel Evans about why he changed his mind about electoral reform, and how FPTP undermines trust.

"We have a five- or six-party-system trapped in the body of a two-party electoral system."

@timbale.bsky.social explains why multi-party politics is here to stay 👇

Voters want real choice. We need a proportional voting system that makes it possible.

WATCH @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social discuss the absurdity of our voting system.

FPTP silences smaller parties while giving full power to the biggest one -even if it only wins 1/3 of the vote.

Last time it was Labour, next it could be Reform. Whoever wins, the voter loses

"When we're working best as the Assembly, it's when we work together cross-party."

"I'd love to throw it in the bin."

At #LabourConference2025, Livvy from Young Make Votes Matter asked Labour members about their opinions on the First Past the Post voting system.

Here's what they had to say 👇

"As Reform climb in the opinion polls, it is evident that they, like the Labour Party, could win on 34% of the vote," warns our CEO Emma Harrison at the @labour4pr.bsky.social rally.

Or less - recent polls show them winning on as little as 25% of the vote.

We have no time to waste. We need PR now.

"Keir Starmer said that the sky didn't fall in when we introduced votes at 16 in Wales and Scotland.

And I say to you, Sir Keir, that when you introduced PR, the sky didn't fall in there either."
