💬 "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.

Dear Andy Burnham: it’s time to scrap First Past the Post. Our voting system only breeds instability and chaos, and poisons our political culture. We know you agree. Now is the time to fix our democracy. Sign the open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/an...

💥 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.

📺 WATCH: Angela Rayner says there's a "consensus that we can't carry on with the system that we currently have". "This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder from the grassroots." PR really feels like an idea whose time has come 💪

"there is nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come, and PR's time has come" @andyburnham.bsky.social

FUN IN THE SUN Enjoyed waking up Sleepwalking Politicians near Westminster #WakeUpWestminster

Yesterday we were out in Keswick, making some noise in the hope that it woke up those in Westminster who are sleeping on a broken voting system. Hopefully they heard us. We know the people in Keswick certainly did! #WakeUpWestminster

This is our local #WakeUpWestminster call for fair elections. We were especially pleased to welcome our MP @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social to the event.

We had a productive couple of hours today drawing the attention of the Chester public to the urgency of scrapping unfair First Past The Post elections. #ProportionalRepresentation

We were in town this morning calling for electoral reform on a national day of action. #WakeUpWestminster

Well done to MVM North West Surrey - looks splendid! #WakeUpWestminster

@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

⏰ 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.

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

Excited and nervous about our SLEEPWALKING POLITICIANS stunt on the Southbank im London tomorrow between 11-13. Time to #WakeUpWestminster

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

"This is a significant moment in the ongoing campaign for electoral reform within the Labour movement." 👏👏👏 City of York is the first Labour council since the 2024 General Election to publicly call for a new voting system. @left-foot-forward.bsky.social

Could York lead the way on proportional representation?

Labour and Lib Dem councillors in York unanimously supported a motion to replace First Past the Post with proportional representation

We are today taking the message of Fair Votes to Penketh in West Warrington. #ProportionalRepresentation

Today we are spreading the word about a fairer voting system in Stockton Heath, Warrington. #PRnow

🗯️ "At the next election, a minority party could win a majority of seats with just a fraction of the popular vote." 🗳️ APPG member @annadixonmp.bsky.social made the case in Parliament for a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

"Under these rules, negative campaigning is rational. Bar charts (sometimes questionable ones) matter far more than manifestos." Our campaigner Livvy writes about what she saw and heard in Gorton and Denton - and why the case for PR is stronger than ever. 👇

The Gorton and Denton By-Election Shows Clearly What's Wrong with FPTP - Make Votes Matter

By Livvy Gibbs, Young Make Votes Matter Coordinator.

makevotesmatter.org.uk

Election campaigns should be about debating ideas - not fighting over bar charts and conflicting tactical voting advice. People should be able to vote with hope, not to block the party they fear most. If we don't want every election to look like Gorton & Denton, we must scrap FPTP.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...
