Today MPs debated the Representation of the People Bill. Together with friends at @compassoffice.bsky.social and @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social, we brought 34 alarm clocks to Westminster to send them a loud message: it's time to wake up! ⏰ Our democracy is in crisis. We need fair votes now.
When things are tough at work, I look at the amazing things our network does to reach across divides to talk about a fairer voting system for all and commit to working even harder for #PRNow

💬 "Putting power in every postcode means making sure that every vote counts equally, no matter where you live." Our Manchester activist Abbie responds to Andy Burnham 🔥 Our voting system means that some places get a lot more attention than others. Redistributing power means changing this.
Lovely to see Aldershot MVM supporters meeting with Alex Baker MP today - great to hear of her support for PR and for @alexsobel.co.uk 's amendment to the Representation of the People's Bill. Let's keeping going to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social everywhere! @appgfairelections.bsky.social

"What principle could be more basic in a democracy than the principle that everybody's vote counts equally?" Today in Parliament, there was a debate about Britain's voting system. Here's just a few highlights. Thank you to all the MPs who spoke out for fair votes!
It has been a productive couple of hours drawing the attention of the Chester public to the urgency of scrapping unfair First Past The Post elections. #ProportionalRepresentation
⏰ We're kicking off our Wake Up Westminster weekend of action! In communities up and down the country, our campaigners are telling politicians to wake up to the crisis facing our democracy. Electoral reform can't wait. The time to change the system is now.
@mvmnorthwestsurrey.bsky.social supporters make the call to #WakeUpWesminster ! at Sean Henry's 'Catafalque (Lying Man)' sculpture in Woking. The UK has a dysfunctional 2-party voting system in a multi-party landscape. We need to @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and @appgfairelections.bsky.social
Well done to MVM North West Surrey - looks splendid! #WakeUpWestminster

There has been a lot of stuff in the press about too many people parking near Formby Beach. My elderly Mum lives close to there and it was very challenging on BH Monday to get my car off the drive. There needs to be a common sense approach to parking in Formby. #Formby
“Wes Streeting is expected to throw his weight behind electoral reform... [he] has yet to set out his position on overhauling the voting system in the UK, but @theipaper.com understands he is supportive of changing the First Past the Post system” 🌹 #Labour4PR

💥 70 MPs have backed the amendment to fix our broken voting system. This is huge - but we need many more to have a real impact and get a step closer to winning Proportional Representation. Check if your MP has signed, and if not, email them using our tool 👇

🔥 Westminster's First Past the Post system is broken and unfair. 🌹 Today, 66 Labour MPs have signed an amendment, led by @alexsobel.co.uk, to mend it. 👇 Let’s make sure the “Representation or the People Bill” does what it says on the tin. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thanks to Former Southport MP John Pugh for raising Electoral Reform on BBC Politics North West. Conservative panelist wrongly suggests the electoral system has no impact on bread and butter issues. How we elect our representatives affects all policy areas! #ProportionalRepresentation
Here at Anfield to watch the final day of the WSL season. Whilst WSL is affordable, the Premier League is not! That's why we also support AFC Liverpool, the 2025/26 Macron Cup Champions! #WSL #NonLeague

"It’s easy for politicians to blame the voters for choosing irresponsibly and letting this or that party in. But the reality is, people are tired of being treated as predictable voting blocs. They want a system that reflects the complexity of their views." MVM in @left-foot-forward.bsky.social 👇
The big lesson from the local elections? We need proportional representation
The British public has moved on from the old way of doing politics. Now it’s time for our voting system to catch up.

Absolute chaos in Milton Keynes. The Lib Dems won the most seats - despite coming FOURTH in vote share. Do we need any more evidence that First Past the Post isn't working?
