“It’s striking that according to recent study, countries with proportional voting systems, in which parliament accurately reflects the way people vote, are on average more stable politically than those with winner-takes-all systems like in Westminster.” newarkadvertiser.co.uk/news/fairer-vo…

FPTP has been called “the world’s worst voting system for achieving gender balance” in politics (Kuper, 1990). Every single country with more than 40% female MPs in its primary legislature uses a proportional voting system.

Imagine if we cared about #Health and #Wellbeing? Pre-WWII the Peckham Experiment did. Results were powerful, but it was swept away in a system focused on illness. Imagine what #UBI would add?

We need to rethink our approach to how social change is created. Citizens create value in all its forms - not systems - but we need systems to serve citizens. We need to invert the pyramid and put power in its place. Citizen Network Citizen Network Research Fearless Cities: South Yorkshire

This should be the last election under First Past the Post. All voters should count equally, wherever you live and whoever you vote for. We need to Make Votes Matter now! If you agree, add your name too: buff.ly/3xJNgaD

Almost 15 years ago exactly we launched our campaign for a re-unified national rail network run for people not profit🚆 The Labour Party's King's Speech finally announces legislation which we hope will make this a reality as #GreatBritishRailways What a historic day👏

GM is ready to lead a big reform of the benefits system. We need a new less punitive, more positive approach to helping people into work, spending money through our voluntary sector rather than large corporates. Thanks to ITV Granada Reports for this great coverage of our plans.🙏🏻

Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies: "I think there's at least some evidence that a better designed electoral system has an effect on the quality of economic policy making..."
