🚨 Voting reform mentioned in Parliament - again. Great to see a cross-party group of MPs highlighting the real damage that First Past the Post does to our democracy. Election turnout is falling and trust in politics is in crisis. We need change - and we need it urgently.

Because there should be no "safe seats". Because we deserve better than voting for the "lesser evil". Because millions of votes shouldn't go to waste. Because we make better decisions when power is shared and every voice is heard. What are your reasons for supporting PR?

💯 "If you want to make the argument that the system is rigged and there’s an out-of-touch elite that’s basically running a kind of closed shop, well, the electoral system makes that argument easier right now." - Rob Ford (Not the Canadian one. Or his brother.) hits the nail on the head politico.eu/article/nigel-…

Ordinary people have everything to gain from ditching Westminster's outdated voting system in favour of a proportional system like the Single Transferable Vote politicsforthemany.co.uk/?utm_campaign=…

💯 The government can & should reintroduce a fairer system for mayor & PCC elections ⚠️ But what would be truly negligent is failing to address First Past the Post for general elections ...a system Labour recognises is "flawed" and driving "distrust & alienation" in politics

There is no constituency where everyone likes the same food, or thinks the same way. The option that gets the most votes shouldn't be the only one that matters. Whether at dinner or at the ballot box, wouldn't it be fairer if we could all get what we asked for?

We changed our minds. We will no longer be campaigning for electoral reform. Now our campaign will focus on raising awareness of the benefits of First Past the Post. Livvy explains why 👇

Here at Politics for the Many HQ, we love a bit of humour. Thanks to Make Votes Matter for livening up what can be a bit of a dry subject. And let's face it, who'd rather eat celery than chips? Vote chips! #TimeForPR

We’re underway for ‘Electoral Reform in Action.’ First Past the Post was designed for a two-party politics that no longer exists, leading to wildly unpredictable results. So this evening we’re discussing four specific systems that could replace it. Which do you favour?

Are you done with voting for the "lesser evil" and never really feeling heard? Same... 😤 We've had enough. That's why we're demanding a proportional system where we can vote with our hearts - and not through gritted teeth.

Alex is 16. He learned about voting systems in his A-level politics class and immediately understood that the one we use in the UK makes no sense. Together with his friends, he wrote about it to his MP. 👇
