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…

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.

There are many ways to campaign for PR, including by signing petitions. One of our supporters has started this petition for a Royal Commission on reform of the Westminster voting system. You can add your name here 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7053…

Nine years since the murder of Jo Cox, our thoughts are with her loved ones. Let's always remember Jo's words: "we have far more in common than that which divides us." Let’s honour her memory by choosing understanding over hate, dialogue over division, and hope over fear.

"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…
