"I think you know perfectly well that Labour now has a moral obligation to bring in Proportional Representation" πŸ’― Polly Toynbee #bbcaq "When you have 2/3 of seats on 1/3 of the vote, you can't claim legitimacy... people should be allowed to express their vote" 🌹#Labour4PR

6 in 10 voters did not get an MP they voted for at this election - a record high. A further 1 in 10 votes just bloated the majority of candidates who'd already won. This is how a government can hold 2/3 of the seats on 1/3 of the vote. Something has to change.

While Labour would have fewer seats under PR, the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, SNP, Green Party and Reform UK would have shares of seats far closer to their share of the vote. electoral-reform.org.uk/how-the-2024-e…

If politicians are serious about changing the country and addressing the crisis of trust in politics, 2024 should be the last election distorted by First Past the Post. Sign our petition with Make Votes Matter and Unlock Democracy now ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/petitions/join…

Choosing an electoral system because it would help your party at one point in time, is no guarantee that it will in the future. But an electoral system that gives a proportional outcome at this election, will give a proportional outcome at the next. electoral-reform.org.uk/the-only-bias-…

Only 4 in 10 voters got what they voted for... whilst 6 in 10 remain unrepresented! We need #ProportionalRepresentation. Do you agree? πŸ‘‰ buff.ly/3XS1rVX

6 in 10 voters DIDN'T get an MP they voted for. More that 1 in 10 voted for a candidate that already had enough votes to win. Meaning ONLY 3 IN 10 people's votes actually mattered. Is that fair?
