"We're in a different era. The era of two-party politics has gone," said Kemi Badenoch on Sky News last night. The conclusion should be obvious. We can no longer operate under a voting system that pretends there's only two choices. It's time for all parties - including the Tories - to back PR.

"I wonder how many people are prepared to play by the system in the future, when you take into account that (...) 1 in 5 of the nation actually voted for the government." It was great to speak to Nigel Evans about why he changed his mind about electoral reform, and how FPTP undermines trust.

"When we're working best as the Assembly, it's when we work together cross-party." At our event with the London Assembly yesterday, @carolinerussell.bsky.social shared her experience of working across political divides under a proportional system. Watch in full: www.youtube.com/live/BDnIo7W...

The era of two-party politics is over. Under First Past the Post, this means: ❌ MPs most constituents didn't vote for ❌ Single-party governments that most of the country never wanted @appgfairelections.bsky.social Chair @alexsobel.co.uk is right: this is not a way to run a democracy.

"The electoral system is at breaking point." - argued @alexsobel.co.uk, Chair of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, on @iaindale.bsky.social show. In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy. We need PR more than ever.

❄️ It's Day 5 of 12 Days of Democracy ❄️ Today, actor Jason Flemyng reveals one of his reasons for supporting a proportional voting system. "Last year, 4 out of 10 people didn't vote. Why? Well, maybe they felt ignored by the system..." We all deserve a vote that counts ✨

"We need to face the fact that the threats to public trust in our democracy... also relate to the structural weaknesses in the way we do politics in this country." Thank you @elliechowns.bsky.social for making the case for fair votes. The Elections Bill must include Proportional Representation.

🎁 We're on Day 10 of 12 Days of Democracy 🎁 Today it's Peter Rugman's turn to open a democratic gift box and reveal another good reason to change the voting system. Let's talk about... Chaos 🤯

During the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill, MP after MP got up to point out what's missing from it: fixing the voting system. The problems with FPTP can no longer be ignored - and neither can the growing calls for PR. 📣 Here are just a few highlights:
