One year ago today Theresa May announced a snap general election. We all know what happened next, and the #ProgressiveAlliance played its part. Our work continues in the #CommonPlatform. Join us today and make a difference: https://t.co/wUWqvFoVdZ

@LLocock @LaylaMoran Thank you! Glad to have your support. Good spot on the typo - apologies - but perhaps ‘Kindlington’ is an appropriate name after all 🙂

[Oxford Progressive Alliance @Compass_OX]

Lib Dem and Green pact in Kindlington shows that cooperation across the aisle is possible! But all progressive parties need to work together to oust Tory MPs! https://t.co/PejUZzQ27z

[Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ @LaylaMoran]

I've submitted a @HouseofCommons motion with @Wera_Hobhouse @StephenLloydEBN & @Dr_PhilippaW urging the Government to give all 16 and 17 year olds across the UK the right to vote in all elections. #VotesAt16 @YoungLiberalsUK

I’ve ranked my favourite electoral systems from best (AMS) to worst (supplementary vote): https://t.co/gsFfQyhGYB

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This is exactly why I supported Proportional Representation for many years, before the right-wing press and the Tories kicked it into the long grass because it threatened their cozy, corrupt relationship
I still believe it would be a huge step in the right direction https://t.co/Nm1ZVbr5CT

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

Minister @CSkidmoreUK wants to change constituency boundaries to ensure "fair and equal representation" for all voters.

The @Conservatives received 42% of the vote in 2017. What percentage of seats would provide "fair and equal representation" to the 42% who voted Conservative?

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

Send your MP a lovely postcard asking them to back #ProportionalRepresentation and #FairVotes: https://t.co/LC7k6E44Fd

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

When 2 parties always win >85% of the seats, whether they get 80% of the vote or 65%, it's impossible for the voters to hold them to account

[Oxford Progressive Alliance @Compass_OX]

Fair mix of parties now in government in NZ thru #PR voting. When can we have PR in Westminster please? https://t.co/v6IQsEdMvA

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

Who the Brits voted for very much depended on how old they are.
