❄️ 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 ✨

"Is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?" Great question by @maxwilkinson.bsky.social The Government must wake up and get to grips with First Past the Post before it’s too late.

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:

And it's Day 12 of 12 Days of Democracy 🎄⭐️🧑🏼‍🎄 Here's yet another reason to support PR - and a Christmas message from our CEO Emma Harrison. However you're spending the coming days, we wish a very happy festive season to all our activists and supporters ✨

"Evidence shows that PR leads to higher turnout, more representative governments and more stable policymaking." Yesterday in Parliament, several MPs raised the urgent need to fix our voting system. Thank you @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social @lisasmartmp.bsky.social 👏👏👏

WATCH @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social discuss the absurdity of our voting system. FPTP silences smaller parties while giving full power to the biggest one -even if it only wins 1/3 of the vote. Last time it was Labour, next it could be Reform. Whoever wins, the voter loses

⭐️ On Day 8 of 12 Days of Democracy, The Molotovs singer Issey Carts reveals another reason to demand a more democratic voting system. "So many perspectives don't get a hearing in Westminster. There's more to politics than binary choices and people are increasingly realising that."

📣 BREAKING: Lord Neil Kinnock calls for Proportional Representation! The former Labour leader joins a growing number of voices pushing for voting system change. A consensus is building: FPTP must go. Watch a clip from his interview with @emmaburnell.bsky.social for LabourList and the Fabians👇

"PR puts the power in the hands of voters rather than in the hands of politicians." Such an important point by @appgfairelections.bsky.social Vice Chair @lisasmartmp.bsky.social. Under FPTP, big decisions are made within the large parties. Under PR, voters have real choice.

"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.

The "dark side" of technology refers to the unintended, harmful, or unethical consequences of rapid technological advancement. While technology has brought immense progress, it has also created complex psychological, social, and environmental challenges.

Yesterday Government agreed to shorten timescale for ban on social media for under 16s - we now need to ensure its young people, public health experts and parents and carers who define how this works and not big tech companies who have failed to address addictive and harmful nature of social media.
