60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose.

The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it.

I just signed a @makevotesmatter.bsky.social petition to the Democracy Minister, calling for Proportional Representation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...
Petition to Democracy Minister

In 2029, more people will be eligible to vote than ever before. But it could also be the year in which more voices than ever are ignored.

That is, unless we change the voting system so that everyone can be heard.

This week the Devolution Bill, which abolishes FPTP for Mayors, passed second reading 🎉

MP after MP got up to highlight the damage this outdated voting system does to our democracy.

Whether we're electing Mayors, councillors or MPs, we need a system where every vote counts.

"What we are calling for is a modest, first step towards addressing what everyone can see is an indefensibly broken voting system. We believe the government needs to set up a National Commission for Electoral Reform"

Our activist Samuel called in to LBC this morning 👏👏👏

We agree: if Labour says that it will listen to voters and deliver change, it must listen to the growing numbers of people demanding a fair voting system.

Democracy is a doorstep demand.
