still one of the greatest conversations ever put on TV.
Here's what Andy Burnham has been saying about Westminster's broken voting system.
Hell yes 💪💯 For years, we heard that Proportional Representation was a fringe demand. That Westminster would never back it. That it wouldn't happen. Now, in the words of John Rentoul, it's "more likely to happen than not". Let's keep up the pressure! We can win and transform politics for good ✊
Andy Burnham wants to change the voting system – and it could well happen
A change to a proportional system is very possible after the next election – there ought to be a debate about which system it should be, writes John Rentoul

Sometimes we get asked: is electoral reform really a priority right now? Yes - because how we elect our MPs impacts everything: the governments we get, the laws they pass, the direction the country takes. We can’t solve the problems we face without a healthy democracy.
Whilst complete cross-party agreement is rarely achieved on reforms of any type, change needs to sit above partisan interests. That's where an independent process can come in. electoral-reform.org.uk/what-does-an...

Despite recent shifts, we're still in a 5+ party system. We don't know who will win the next election. But there's a real risk of a majority government getting elected on as little as 25% of the vote. We must scrap First Past the Post before it turns our democracy into a joke.

Under First Past the Post, it doesn't matter how many votes you get. All that matters is how split or united your opponents are. Elections shouldn't feel like a guessing game. It's time to make seats in Parliament reflect how the country votes. It's time for PR.

Under First Past the Post, some seats are seen as "battlegrounds" and others as ones that can be safely ignored. To really "put power in every postcode", Andy Burnham needs to address this fundamental injustice. New article in @left-foot-forward.bsky.social by our CEO @emmacampaigner.bsky.social:
If Andy Burnham wants to deliver power in every postcode, he has to overhaul our broken democracy
If it doesn't happen, "power in every postcode" will take its place alongside levelling up: a phrase that moved attention around the country without ever moving power.
