"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.

"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...

"Make votes matter," said Westminster's newest MP Hannah Spencer at our Manchester rally last year. "Our vote is a right and our vote should count!" Regardless of who you backed in this race, this is a message we can all unite around 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

🎙️Our CEO Emma Harrison was on the Shelagh Fogarty show on LBC, discussing some of the results we've seen today: "If Labour were really bold, they'd think about democratic renewal and say, let's talk about changing our voting system."

🎁 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 🤯

🎄 It's day 2 of our 12 Days of Democracy 🎄 Every day, we open a present and reveal one reason to support a fairer voting system. Today is @zoejardiniere.bsky.social's turn...

❄️ 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 ✨

Highlights from the Westminster debate on #DemocracyDay👇 Thank you @rachelblakemp.bsky.social for securing this important debate, and to @richardfoordld.bsky.social @lizzicollinge.bsky.social @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social for making the case for electoral reform.

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.

"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.

#Habs MSL on Kirby Dach "His competitiveness, his commitment… he has come up with important goals for us. Even though we weren't able to score a third or fourth one (in game 1), his second goal helped us get going again and gain some momentum. I find that Kirby helps us with momentum." #GoHabsGo

I welcome yesterday's announcement that the Ethics & Integrity Commission will conduct a review into reforms to strengthen our democracy, including overdue tightening of lobbying rules. This is something I have advocated for over many years in light of the Greensill/David Cameron scandal and others.

The Pentagon is handing out military parade tickets based on waist size. A defense official literally said “no fatties.” These are the same Republicans who slashed VA benefits and fired decorated generals. Our troops deserve better than a casting call.
