Say what you will about #FirstPastThePost it keep the hard right out. Yer right! It’s #Time4PR @CompassOffice @UnlockDemocracy @MakeVotesMatter @Labour4PR @OpenBritainHQ @electoralreform @labourlewis
There is something very wrong with our voting system when this is how we seat people in Westminster
This isn't about Left or Right, it's not just about this election, I'm talking of ALL Elections and the true basis to the meaning of democracy.

HOW does 34% of the vote get you 64% seat share🤔
JUST HOW can 12% of the vote get 11% seat share🤔
YET Reforms 14% only gets 1% seat share🤔🤔🤔

Hear, hear! Unless you're a Tory, any other vote in our area is utterly wasted. It's very much #Time4PR

When do we want it?
NOW❗️
But will politely wait as long as #PR is enacted in the next Parliament.

Vote share for #LocalElections2023 confirm that the #FPTP supporting duo-ploy of Labour & Conservatives only received 35%/26% vote share (61%) total), on a low turnout.
So a whopping 39% of the electorate voted for other parties.

“After another 13 years under the Tories, we must now recognise that even if Labour does get into power under First Past the Post, without proportional representation, all that good work can be undone.”

“I think it's bizarre to hear the Conservative minister complain that we've had 11 relaunches under Labour when we’ve had three Conservative prime ministers in just the past six months”
This #bbcqt audience member argues that Keir Starmer appears stable

The
‘First-Past-The-Post’ voting system (#FPTP) is designed to serve a minority and to divide the majority.
#ProportionalRepresentation gives fair representation & a strong voice to all, because
‘All Votes Count’

The First-Past-The-Post Voting System is so last year….
No wait it’s so the last century & beyond.

#FPTP
👉🏾 A voting system where 35%/45% of votes for one single party can lead to majority govt & 100% of the power!
👉🏾 5/10/15% of votes can lead to little or no representation!
#ProportionalRepresentation
leads to representation approx equal to votes cast!

This clip perfectly sums up two big barriers to getting Fair Votes over the line. 1. MSM in the form of Fiona Bruce. 2. Those Labourites who want to cling onto First Past The Post like @EmilyThornberry.
That said, well said @CarolineLucas #Time4PR #ProportionalRepresentation
Great performance by Caroline Lucas banging the drum for Electoral reform on BBC Question Time.
“We have a bigger constitutional crisis. We need to have a fairer voting system..”

Sounds like an aspirational list that could be delivered by a #ProportionalRepresentation voting system with its inherent representative & consensual politics.
Because the #FPTP voting system sure isn’t delivering this!

My political aspirations aren’t hard to summarise. I want to vote for a party that:
- Believes in democracy
- Treats all people with respect
- Supports social justice
- Is economically competent
- Will tackle climate change
Why are those seemingly impossible goals?
Had a busy morning engaging with the public in Wigan alongside @NoWastedVotes @MVM_Manchester on the need for everyone to have an Equal Vote irrespective of what way political allegiance. #ProportionalRepresentation #Time4PR #MakeVotesMatter #Wigan
A very busy morning engaging with the public in Wigan alongside @NoWastedVotes @MVM_Manchester on the need for everyone to have an Equal Vote irrespective of what way people vote. #ProportionalRepresentation #Time4PR #MakeVotesMatter #Wigan
Come and join us @MVM_Manchester & @NoWastedVotes in Wigan tomorrow. We will be outside the Grand Arcade Shopping Centre from 10am talking about the importance of Fair Votes #ProportionalRepresentation #Time4PR #MakeVotesMatter
Another article in The Herald, calling for PR for the House of Commons. We agree! Let’s call time on FPTP #Time4PR #FairVotesNow https://t.co/GEXuuhdnOO
