📰 Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has urged PM Keir Starmer’s Government to launch a review of the First Past the Post voting system used for Westminster elections 🌹 Some great coverage from the #Labour4PR fringe event at Labour Conference #Lab24 bylinetimes.com/2024/09/25/lea…

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..."

We were delighted to welcome former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern into the office today to talk to the team about how proportional representation has worked in New Zealand.

With public support for change never higher, resistance to electoral reform can only last so long. Even if not this time, representative politics will win eventually. Read about the campaign to change the voting system for council elections in Wales 👇 buff.ly/3BPsBnf

🌍 World Happiness Index 2025 has just been published. Turns out, the top 10 happiest countries in the world ALL use some form of Proportional Representation. Perhaps the UK could learn something from them? 🤔

The tide is turning. As the country votes in local elections, more and more media outlets are talking about the end of the two-party system - and calling for electoral reform. First Past the Post is a ridiculous voting system but its days are numbered. We deserve better.

🌹 Labour's official policy recognises that First Past the Post is "flawed" and driving "distrust & alienation" in politics ⚠️ Now, multi-party politics is colliding with a 2-party system - and inaction is becoming untenable 🎯 We need a National Commission for Electoral Reform

⏰ Labour needs to wake up 🚨 If anything like these vote shares happened in a general election, the far right would win a landslide majority thanks to our broken voting system 🎰 First Past the Post is a gamble with Britain's future 🌹 #Labour4PR

Our letter is in the Guardian today 👇 "A proportional system wouldn’t just deliver fairer outcomes, it would also help foster more compassionate, consistent and competent politics." theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

What living under First Past the Post feels like:

"FPTP was designed for a two-party system. But that world is gone. Britain needs a voting system that reflects how people actually vote today, not how they voted in the 1950s." The case for PR is now stronger than ever, argues our CEO Emma 🧡 👇 makevotesmatter.org.uk/latest-news/20…
