Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform (LDER)
@libdems4er
In Richmond, Lib Dems won 100% of the seats - for 51% of the votes. In Wigan, Reform won 96% of available seats with 46% of the vote. Lib Dems do not believe this is ok. But the Prime Minister "still has confidence" in this system. What do you think?

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 It is quite simply out of date and not fit for purpose.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
A message for Burnham if he becomes an MP, or even PM: Stick with it. Don't follow Blair or Farage and roll back on your commitment to PR if you decide the current system favours you To fix the country we have to fix politics & that has to start with the voting system
Does the Prime Minister think all votes should matter? He couldn't be clearer: No he does not. We want to fix politics so that this country works for you. The Labour government does not.
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
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

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.
Liberal Democrats do not believe we should have won 100% of the seats in Richmond with only 51% of the vote Just as Reform in Wigan should not have won 96% of available seats with 46% of the vote These are just two recent examples highlighting why we need to fix our politics
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:
Changing Prime Minister 6 times 10 years makes it impossible to put the long term plans in place that we need - to fix our economy, our health services and so much more. We need to fix politics to fix the country. #politics #makevotesmatter #proportionalrepresentation #fairvotes #fixpolitics

#Habs Dobes on bouncing back from Game 6 "I kept the same similar things—a couple of tweaks—but I felt pretty good last game. Emotionally, I wanted to be better. I think getting pulled at home was kind of a wake-up call, and I took it personal. And yeah, we won today, so really happy." #GoHabsGo
