‘The right is ruthless in seeking power, aided by our First Past The Post voting system’

“Electoral reform must abolish FPTP, facilitate cooperation between progressive parties, make voting more accessible and rid us of anti-democratic influences [..].”

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Devolution should be about making decisions as close as possible to the people most impacted.

For that, we need to keep the 'local' in 'local government'.

And we should have proportional representation for local elections - to make them as fair and democratic as possible.

In the General Election, nearly a third of voters said they would be opting for a party that wasn’t their first choice in order to keep out another. Find out more in our new report: https://t.co/fF0jIjheOK

📢Fair elections mean abolishing our outdated first-past-the-post electoral system.

🗳️Proportional Representation would give everyone a real say and a real voice in our democracy.

"My parents live in a rural seat in the East Midlands. No one in that village has ever been canvassed. Their votes don't matter."

Our CEO @Emma_Campaigner recently spoke at @cambridgeunion about the way FPTP is failing millions of voters.

We need PR so that no seat is ignored.

The General Election in 2024 was not only the most disproportional election in British electoral history, but one of the most disproportional seen anywhere in the world. Find out more in our new report: https://t.co/fF0jIjheOK

🚨OUT NOW🚨 Our politics is broken, can PR fix it?

Lib Dem MP @Lisa_Smart, the Electoral Reform Society's Dr Jess Garland, and Politics Professor @robfordmancs, join @alain_tolhurst to discuss whether fragmentation is here to stay

[Lib Dems for Electoral Reform 🔶️ #FBPPR @LibDems4ER]

Great to see the momentum behind changing the voting system - and we are proud to see @Lisa_Smart working hard with other allies and cross-party to achieve fair votes!

Only with fair votes can we resolve the UK's long-term issues instead of the next government undoing it all.

Joined Bristol @MakeVotesMatter today at their stall outside Waitrose in my ward. Pleased (but not surprised 😀) that large numbers of shoppers were in favour of switching to proportional representation.

[Joe Borsato @TheEcoAlchemyst]

Canada will not even remotely be a functional democracy until there is an electoral system of proportional representation.

Without it, suburbanite Toronto will continue to dictate which parties form government and whether important legislation ever sees the light of day.

[Politics with Sami @politics_w_sami]

The odds are pretty good France gets Proportional Representation (depends on how long Bayrou lasts as PM tho), Bayrou is a big supporter of that

[Electoral Reform Society @electoralreform]

138 MPs voted for fairer elections and a more democratic future. And they won. But now it's up to the government. https://t.co/XGbLdjGLHe

[LCER @Labour4PR]

John Curtice explains that First Past the Post no longer keeps parties like Reform in check #R4Today

Retaining a system that hands out parliamentary majorities on 1/3rd of the vote is not only unfair, it's becoming dangerous

🎂 Also, a very Happy Birthday to @Sirjohncurtice! 🎉

[APPG for Fair Elections @FairElectionsUK]

"It will require a degree of political courage. It will require a dose of democratic humility. Because the current system doesn't work & has to be recognised as such"

🌹 @MarkDrakeford made the case for PR, starting with a National Commission for Electoral Reform, at our launch

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

"We are a multi-party democracy, trying to jam every possible shape into a square hole."

Excellent article by @josiahmortimer, citing research by @electoralreform.

Nearly 78% of votes in 2024 didn't directly affect the local outcome. FPTP isn't working.

Our new report on the 2024 General Election, A System Out of Step, explores in depth the most disproportional election in British history, in terms of how we voted and what we got. Our research reveals the full, worrying picture from this election. https://t.co/fF0jIjhMEi

[Electoral Reform Society @electoralreform]

https://t.co/7a29kYr4Eq quoted our Chief Executive in their coverage “It is clear... that the public is voting as if we already have a proportional electoral system, with people voting outside the big two parties in unprecedented numbers. https://t.co/b1xGrihScv
