11 of the 12 MVMNWSurrey local group members present at the social event at the Wheatsheaf pub in Woking on 5th December 2026. Lots of smiling faces, MVM beermats held up, warmth, fun and hope! One side of one of those MVM - branded beermats with a blend of colour from yellow at the top to purple at the bottom and including the following text and imagery in white: - "GETTING THE ROUND WRONG - WHAT WE WANTED:" (followed by an illustration of a round of drinks - 2/5 are soft drinks), "WHAT WE GOT:" (followed by an illustration of 5x soft drinks - an analogy for our broken FPTP voting system). "This is how UK elections work. You wouldn't expect it in a pub, so why is it OK for Parliament? makevotesmatter.org.uk" A photo of 2 bar tables once everyone had left - evidence of lots of drinks, lots of MVM beermats and a lovely time had by all!

2 carved Halloween pumpkins on a night-time doorstep in front of a smaller pumpkin covered in question marks below a sign reading 'Take a leaflet ', pointing to a pile of Make Votes Matter leaflets. The two pumpkins have the following message skillfully carved into them: EQUAL VOTES NOW! The light from the pumpkins reflects off the paved floor. We need Proportional Representation now!!

Britain's democracy is in crisis. Our First Past the Post voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.

This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for a fair system where every vote counts.

It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

!WAKE UP!
!WAKE UP!
@keirstarmer.bsky.social !!

Don't keep our broken First Past the Post electoral system.
It doesn't work for *any* party & will split & waste even more votes.
#distrust & #alienation

We need a national commission now!
