Well said, Anna Dixon #PRnow

A night-time photo under Westminster Bridge showing a bright pink projection containing an image of a woman with a red cross over her mouth. The caption reads 'Only 4 in 10 got what they voted for'. Big Ben and Westminster is in the background.

The way the UK public is represented is truly a horror show.

@makevotesmatter.bsky.social now!!

Quite so... it's LONG past time for Proportional Representation. How long is it going to take to dawn on the Labour Party? If they don't give the people #PRnow, First Past The Post is going to bite them in the __😧

The case against our democracy-destroying First Past The Post voting system is so well explained in this blog. We need votes that count: Proportional Representation!

Why the climate needs PR - Make Votes Matter This blog is written by Livvy Gibbs, Young Make Votes Matter coordinator, an reflects her personal views.

Today is the International Day of Climate Action. 🌍

Protecting the climate and fixing our democracy have far more in common than it may seem.

Young MVM coordinator Livvy explains why our voting system is a barrier to effective and popular environmental policies.👇

All set to engage with the people of Warrington on the need to change the electoral system to one where every vote counts equally. #PRnow #Warrington

👏 Indeed, giving 16-year-olds the vote is fraud unless we go further to make it a vote that counts, that represents their and all our views in parliament, that overcomes our broken politics #PRnow

Over 80% of Labour Party members and two-thirds of trade union memberships want to ditch First Past The Post for Fair Elections in which voters' votes all count equally. So what's holding the government back? Answer: Greed for outright power and hubris that they can win again! #PRnow

Thank you to everyone who came to our panel event at Labour Conference last evening. It was fantastic to see the room so packed, and the mood so inspired.

Here are some of the highlights of the event, in case you missed them. 🧵

“The APPG for Fair Elections is now the biggest in Parliament and we really want to support the Government in building consensus about the way forward.”

💬 @alexzurclark.bsky.social of @labour4pr.bsky.social speaking at our fringe event with @thefabians.bsky.social and @appgfairelections.bsky.social

Hugely encouraging enthusiasm, expertise & optimism from our panel this afternoon

Many thanks @thefabians.bsky.social & @labour4pr.bsky.social & to our chair @drsarahyde.bsky.social

When MPs return to Parliament, we'll be stepping up the campaign for a National Commission on Electoral Reform

Could we have this now, please, rather than waiting for "Reform UK" to win a FPTP election with 33% of the vote and watching them ruin the country for five years?

Speaking to members at our #Lab25 stall, it's clear as ever that electoral reform has the overwhelming support of:

🌹 Labour members
🛠️ Affiliated trade unions
📍 Constituency Labour Parties
🎪 Annual conference
🏦 Parliament's biggest APPG

It's time for fair votes #Labour4PR

“I'm here to endorse the Labour for a New Democracy call for a National Commission in this parliament - and a manifesto commitment to a system of Proportional Representation to be introduced into Westminster elections in the next Parliament.”

“There’s nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come - and PR’s time has come.”

Britain's First Past The Post makes a mockery of 'one person, one vote' because our votes are grotesquely unequal, giving us a parliament that misrepresents how we all voted. It's why our politics are broken. #DemocracyDay #PRnow

We wanted to mark this in the actual Market Cross location.

The suffragist Great Pilgrimage is a great example of different types of people coming together to effect positive democratic change.

We need to do the same now more than ever.

More than eight in ten Labour members support end to two-child benefit cap - LabourList More than eight in ten Labour members support ending the two-child benefit limit, according to a new poll.

84% of Labour Party members want the government to end the two-child benefit limit.

In a country as wealthy as the UK, allowing child poverty to deepen is a political choice. Labour must choose differently.
