The campaign for Proportional Representation absolutely must be won in the next 3 years.
No party, let alone a dangerous racist party like Reform , should have any prospect of winning absolute power on 30% of the vote.
"Now that we've got this additional burden to meet, that should be shared amongst those who can afford to pay it, not on people who are already struggling." - PMUK's Ian Gregg speaking to BBC's Look North.

It was great to have Labour MP @justinmadders join our panel at our recent House of Commons event “Preventing Disinformation and Misinformation in Campaigning.”

This MASSIVE MRP (13k people polled!) lays bare the intrinsic issue with FPTP.
Reform would be on course the form a government with just 27% of the vote. The democratic deficit is huge.
The case for PR has never been clearer.
Thames Water sits in £22bn of debt whilst failing to provide clean, safe, affordable water.
We're proud to support this Council motion.
Public ownership is the only answer. The arguments against are drying up.
Polling by @CompassOffice showed Labour members overwhelmingly want bolder offer on democracy, the economy, child poverty and much more. The government is out of step with the mainstream of the Labour Party and must reset to transform the country. https://t.co/iFGVTSrQOt
"Proportional representation (PR) is far from being a magic bullet. It needs guardrails to anchor it, to prevent us being pulled to the far right, and to persuade UK citizens that PR is the change we need to pursue for the good society." Claire Jones on PR https://t.co/6kRuVAcS3R
"How do we approach the ugly events seen on the streets of the UK last summer? If we are to learn and understand the causes of the riots an inquiry is crucial. Although there is no guarantee that its recommendations will be implemented, this would be the best way of highlighting the important issues and limiting future trouble." https://t.co/0zaaEWr1zY
Without bolder change and policies that deliver more, there is a risk, as @Neal_Compass stresses, that the far right can make serious gains in the UK. This should be a wake up call for all of us working for a better democracy and a brighter future.
Donald Trump's inauguration is a wake-up call. We hope the #LabourParty will hear it.
All the ingredients of a far-right overtake are present in the UK.
If this government keeps pandering to the right instead of rallying progressive voices, we risk the same future here.

"We are calling for the appointment of a Community Resilience Czar to lead a coordinated, cross-government strategy to strengthen our communities and safeguard our democracy.
