Get PR Done!

🗳 You only have to take a look at the latest BMG poll and the estimated seats likely to be won by each party, and the disproportionate results under the #FPTP voting system, to know that it is time to GET PR DONE! 🤷‍♂️

"Is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?"

Great question by @maxwilkinson.bsky.social

The Government must wake up and get to grips with First Past the Post before it’s too late.

"The electoral system is at breaking point."

- argued @alexsobel.co.uk, Chair of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, on
@iaindale.bsky.social show.

In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy.

We need PR more than ever.

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10.

We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

How to tame the populists: lessons from the Netherlands Recent elections in the Netherlands show how a proportional voting system can prevent extremists from taking power. Lessons for the UK?

Last year, writes Stephen McNair, Labour won 63% of seats with just 34% of the vote.

That’s not democracy – it’s distortion.

The Dutch election this week proves proportional voting can deliver stable coalitions that reflect the real will of the people.

It’s time to end the nightmare of the first-past-the-post voting system

Even a big far-right vote couldn’t give the far-right total control, because the Dutch democracy promotes cooperation.

Here in the UK, just one-third of the vote could give Nigel Farage a huge majority of MPs.

Our democracy isn't fit for 21st-century politics. We need Proportional Representation.

Now we have multiple parties attracting millions of votes , then the risk of a party getting less than 30% of electoral votes becoming the dominant party has dramatically increased . Starmer should commit to PR , would really shake Reform up

🗳 This latest poll has Reform U.K. potentially forming a majority government on just 27% of votes cast. 😱

Dracula. He's a count. Unlike your vote. Which didn't count. Sucking life and energy out of politics since 1885.

The Prime Monster Only needs 25% of the vote to have a majority in Parliament and pass a law allowing him to eat us all.

The zombie voting system Should be dead. Why is it still here?

It's Halloween and Westminster is looking spooky... 🎃💀

Here are some of the creatures haunting the House of Commons under First Past the Post:

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

Millions of voters are forced to vote tactically, for the least worst option under the wacky maths of the first-past-the-post voting system.

It’s way past-time to “Make All Votes Count”

Vote tactically or Reform will win.
Vote tactically or Plaid will win.
Vote tactically or...

We're hearing it in Caerphilly today. We've heard it a million times before.

Under PR, we could just vote for whoever we support - and every vote would count. Sounds better, doesn't it?

50%+ should be the minimum

#ProportionalRepresentation

60% of voters now support electoral reform, according this year’s British Attitudes Survey, the highest level of support since records began. Just 36% of people believe we should keep the current system.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that FPTP is far more likely to deliver a Reform U.K./ and or Tory majority on around 30%, whereas this would be highly unlikely on the same figures under PR, where 30% votes equal approx 30% seats.

With PR 30% of the vote equals approx 30% of seats. Any party not exceeding 50% will need to form a coalition with other parties. With the current FPTP system 30% or less could gift one party a majority and 💯% of the power. So maybe we need to be concerned about our current undemocratic system. 🤷‍♂️

To be decided democratically , maybe via a National Commission for electoral reform as proposed by the APPG for Fair Elections.
