If people don't feel represented by politicians - why would they bother voting for them? As Emma Harrison, CEO of Make Votes Matter says: We need to change the voting system to fix politics for the voters - so they actually feel represented, and re-engage in politics.

Up and down the country residents are stuck with councils that simply do not represent them. Even in a hung council, First Past the Post delivers too many seats to the largest party. Proportional systems would bring balance, while First Past the Post throws it out the window

No party should have a majority in Parliament with less than 30% of the vote - especially not extremists like Reform UK. But under our current political system - that is entirely possible. We have to fix the system before the next election - before its too late.

A blunt, honest message for the Labour Government - from a Labour MP. Responding to a speech calling for a fairer voting system by Liberal Democrat Richard Foord. #politics #makevotesmatter #proportionalrepresentation #fairvotes #fixpolitics

At an LDER/ @appgfairelections.bsky.social Fringe event, @ollyglover.bsky.social said "I'm spending a lot of time campaigning for Proportional Representation because our politics simply isn't working. (...) We need a politics that brings more ideas into it and where everyone's votes count equally."

Sarah Olney MP spoke at the Liberal Democrats Fringe "Votes at 16: a fair deal for young people?" which also had speakers from Young @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and My Life My Say. Sarah explains here why we should encourage voting at 16:

Belarus is the only country in Europe with the same voting system as us. Hardly a ringing endorsement. It is quite simply out of date and not fit for purpose. The government should seize the opportunity in the Rep of the People Bill to actually fix our politics

Electoral Reform may not seem to matter on a daily basis but how we vote affects how we are governed, and how we are governed affects everything from our NHS is run to how clean our water is The government has a chance to fix politics to help fix the country. They should take it

"First past the post brings stability" "Coalitions bring chaos" Tell that to the 6 Prime Ministers we have had in 10 years Meanwhile the last government that lasted 5 years without changing leader was a coalition The arguments against proportional systems do not stack up

Up and down the country residents are stuck with councils that simply do not represent them. Even in a hung council, First Past the Post delivers too many seats to the largest party. Proportional systems would bring balance, while First Past the Post throws it out the window

Rep. Blake Moore, "Our Republican priority will always be about putting government ahead of Americans." This is why I would die before ever ever considering voting Republican. Their priorities are f*cked.
