Andy Burnham will be the UK's first prime minister with a history of backing electoral reform. Now he needs to put his principles into action.

Seven Prime Ministers. Nine Chancellors. Ten years. Britain's political instability is holding the country back. If Andy Burnham is serious about changing politics, he should back proportional representation and give every vote an equal voice.

Andy Burnham has a chance to fix our broken political system now, before it is too late. Introduce proportional representation, give everyone an equal vote and an equal voice in our democracy, and make sure no politician or political party can afford to take them for granted ever again.

💥 THIS IS HUGE! The electoral reform amendment tabled by @alexsobel.co.uk is now the single biggest amendment since the general election. 166 MPs from 8 parties have added their names - a quarter of the House of Commons. The system isn't working and the new PM needs to make this a priority.

"Three quarters of unions, two-thirds of members and a new generation of Labour MPs support electoral reform." 🌹Labour MPs @andymacnaemp.bsky.social & @lizzicollinge.bsky.social call on @andyburnham.bsky.social to launch a Commission in @thehousemag.bsky.social www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

The country needs electoral reform – and Labour has the chance to be on the right side of this argument

First-past-the-post is failing. Representatives are being elected on 20 per cent of the vote and less. That is not a democratic mandate.

The carousel of Prime Ministers keeps turning, but nothing really changes. This time must be different. Real change – transforming our broken politics so we can fix our country.

"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!

That means tackling the cost of living with a bold new deal with Europe, fixing social care to end the NHS crisis and giving power back to communities through a fair voting system. The next Prime Minister needs to show the ambition our country deserves.

The British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of Prime Ministers while nothing really changes. This time must be different. It can’t just be about changing who’s in Number 10, it has to be about changing our broken politics so we can fix our country.

What would Andy Burnham do if he becomes PM? “He has previously called for proportional representation for UK general elections in order to make politics “less point-scoring [and] more problem-solving” and suggested it should be included in the next Labour manifesto” labourlist.org/2026/06/andy...

The carousel of Prime Ministers keeps turning, but nothing really changes. This time must be different. Real change – transforming our broken politics so we can fix our country.

Supporters of the status quo keep claiming that first past the post produces strong and stable governments, denying the reality in front of their eyes. If we truly want stable and credible government, we need a voting system that reflects how people actually vote.

Keir Starmer’s resignation is the latest product of the chaos of First Past the Post

Today Keir Starmer announced he will be resigning as Prime Minister. It is hard to overstate how remarkable that is. His government won 63% of all MPs on just 34% of the vote in 2024, gi

It's official: Andy Burnham has been elected as the new MP for Makerfield. A longtime advocate for electoral reform, he will join the growing ranks of Proportional Representation supporters in Parliament. We'll continue to work with him to get this message heard in Westminster👇

Keir Starmer was the UK's sixth Prime Minister in a decade. Now we're about to get yet another one. Please tell us again how the First Past the Post voting system delivers strong and stable governments.

As Starmer eyes the exit, here’s a vital lesson for Andy Burnham: first impressions are everything | Polly Toynbee

If the Makerfield MP is to be our next PM, he needs some immediate and memorable cost of living policies to avoid his predecessor’s fate, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee
