Ranking of the best democracies on Earth in 2022 according The Economist Democracy Index
All of the top 9 countries use a #ProportionalRepresentation system to elect their representatives.
Why canโt we do the same?
๐๐IT'S HAPPENING!๐๐
"If Labour put voting reform in their manifesto, I'd vote for them"
"FPTP makes my vote meaningless"
"PR is the answer"
THREE PEOPLE IN A ROW arguing for Proportional Representation to save the country!

For each month that the election is delayed around 133,000 additional households will experience an interest-rate increase costing on average ยฃ288 more each month, while unemployment is also likely to be rising. @TheEconomist on election timing. https://t.co/9iuo67DXN6
By joining this crowdfunder, you will fund pro-PR campaigning in marginal seats across the UK.
So when political parties knock on the doors of the people they care most about, they will hear a clear message: First Past the Post must end. Itโs time for PR.

Many friends have got sick after swimming in the beautiful #DartRiver
Why? Outrageous dumping of sewage ๐ฉ
This year I didn't swim in it at all, much as I'd have loved to. Too risky.
Pls sign this super quick bathing water application to protect it ๐

We've had a packed last two months, bringing the message of #ProportionalRepresentation to SEVEN CONFERENCES up and down the UK.
Thank you to everyone who made this happen - we couldn't have done it without the hard work and dedication of the entire MVM team!
@JasonPittUK @LibDems I understand your concerns and don't want extremist governments. However PR doesn't result in more extremism - quite the opposite. Here's a reference https://t.co/6YTI8OlNox
The statement about Germany is also a myth. If they'd had FPTP the Nazis would have come to power sooner.
To learn more about the Swiss open list system, this explainer for @MakeVotesMatter discusses it and Luxembourg's similar system.
