"it’s in Labour’s interests to embrace the discussion about electoral reform now. Because it’s better for them to make the running and own this issue than be bounced into it five years down the line" Yes Rob Ford (Not the Canadian one. Or his brother.) & Andy Burnham - we agree 👍👍! bylinetimes.com/2024/09/25/lea…

Betting the country’s future on First Past the Post is like gambling with “a random number generator”. “An electoral set-up designed to lock in representative, stable government increasingly guarantees the reverse.” We need a system we can rely on. economist.com/britain/2024/0…

Austria's far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) got about 1/3 of the vote - same as Labour in the UK. Unlike the UK, they won't get 100% of the power in parliament.. #pr #proportionalrepresentation #firstpastthepost #democracy

“Being a rock solid safe seat in a first-past-the-post system isn’t great for democracy. So many people have said it’s the first time their vote has ever counted.” As John Milne MP 🔶 says, PR would make everyone’s vote count at every election, everywhere. 🔶#ChangeTheVotingSystem

First-past-the-post , where 25.9% of the votes can result in a win for one candidate, whilst those within a hair's breadth get nothing. 🤷‍♂️ #getPRdone #ProportionalRepresentation Royston Palace (North Herts) Council By-Election: 🌹 LAB: 25.9% 🔶 LDM: 25.6% 🌳 CON: 24.1%

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
