How can we have an elections bill that omits to address the primary problem with our electoral system.

@HBrandstaetter @RichardGCorbett We should fix the electoral system that was abused to tear us out of the EU. Do that before we rejoin or it could happen again.

"Don't let the Labour party say one more word about “splitting the vote”. With PR, no one would ever need to worry about splitting the vote. No one would need to choose the lesser evil to keep the greater evil out of office."

“We consider that the electoral system no longer serves the interests of UK business in generating growth."

Last week, @FinancialTimes published a letter from 20+ business leaders, calling for electoral reform.

The government is preparing a new Elections Bill, promising to strengthen Britain's democracy.

But it currently fails to address the elephant in the room: the voting system.

We're asking Democracy Minister @SamanthaDixonMP to fix this.

The news about PR has reached Lancashire!

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

Well done to our activists and thank you for your support, @annalouisedixon 🙌

“After decades of campaigning, it feels like PR is closer than ever”.

We couldn't agree more 💪💪

Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain.

Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode.

Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in.

Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard.

We need #PRnow

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

The era of two-party politics is over.

Things have changed. Now it's time for our voting system to catch up. #PRnow

[Make Votes Matter West Yorkshire @WestYorksMVM]

@MatthewStadlen Nevertheless our voting system is capable of delivering 100% control of parliament to a party attracting less than a fifth of the electorate's votes.

The tide is turning. More and more people from across the political spectrum are turning against our broken voting system.

Now to convince the government to listen to the public and make ALL votes matter.

Who says street stalls don't work?

FPTP isn't real democracy. Time for a sea-change from winning to collaborating.

[APPG for Fair Elections @FairElectionsUK]

💥 Public support for electoral reform has reached a new all-time high

📈 60% of people now want to change to a fair, proportional voting system... including a majority of supporters of every party

🎞️ Our Vice Chair @EllieChowns calls for the Government to listen & act

[Make Votes Matter West Yorkshire @WestYorksMVM]

@kennardmatt For the new left party to ever do anything we need proportional representation in parliament. https://t.co/P2epUtuqIT

[Make Votes Matter West Yorkshire @WestYorksMVM]

We had a great day out in Hebden Bridge on Saturday.

Even got reported in the local papers!

@martindvz @gazfinch83 That's right. 34% of the vote on a 60% turnout is just 20%. But it can get you full control of government.

[Make Votes Matter West Yorkshire @WestYorksMVM]

@martindvz @gazfinch83 The problem is that under our ridiculous voting system you don't have to fool most people at all. So long as your opposition is divided and plenty of people don't vote you can be running the country based on the votes of less than ⅕ of the electorate. =>
