We need a voting system that builds trust, not destroys it. I've chipped in to the Make Votes Matter summer appeal to help replace First Past the Post with a fairer, proportional system. Can you join me? makevotesmatter.org.uk/2025-summer-ap…


A full house for our sxswlondon panel in partnership with APPG for Fair Elections. Emma 🧡 chaired an exciting conversation on how we can counter growing polarisation in our politics alongside Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Joe Powell MP & Guto Harri.



Brilliant to be at the first sxswlondon today to talk about an optimistic vision for rebuilding trust in politics through community organising and strengthening our democratic systems - from money in politics, to citizen participation and ensuring all votes matter.


Politics is breaking and our electoral system is broken. People young and old are being pushed to the extremes and votes seem to matter less and less. It was great to speak at Europes first sxswlondon with Guto Harri, Joe Powell MP and Make Votes Matter to make democracy work!


It was great to speak at sxswlondon yesterday with Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Guto Harri and Joe Powell MP 🙌 We discussed how we can respond to growing polarisation and build a healthier, more inclusive political culture. We believe it starts with fixing the system. Join us if you agree.


"How can you trust a system that asks you to participate once every 5 years, only to disregard most people’s votes?" Yesterday we also spoke at National Liberal Club, alongside Olly Glover MP 🔶. Democracy can't be taken for granted. To make it resilient, we must allow all voices to be heard.



Stephen Bush Stephen Bush is 100% correct here. With votes split three - or even five - ways, First Past the Post elections become little more than a lottery. We think that who runs the country should be up to the people, not up to luck. That's why we need PR.
