First-Past-the-Post no longer delivers real mandates, only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

"The measure of [AI's] success must be human flourishing, and not productivity... If AI displaces labour without guaranteeing alternative income, security, meaning, and social contribution, it will corrode society even if GDP rises."

First Past the Post lets people with fringe views slip through the net Britain’s First Past the Post system was designed for a two-party age. One that pretty much everyone agrees we no longer live in. Yet even when most people voted for one of the two big

Join Humanists UK Joining Humanists UK is about expressing your approach to life and supporting us in our work.

Humanism is not a fringe or ‘woke’ idea; it is rooted in the very best of British traditions: fairness, reason, and believing in the good that people are capable of when free to live their lives without fear or prejudice.
Don't be dragged backward by a radical minority.

That's humanism! Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

We ❤️ this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
