"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.

"We need a new settlement between the British people and Westminster." @billybragg.bsky.social is on point here 💯🔥 Fixing the deep crises that our country is facing starts with giving people agency - a system where their voices are truly heard. It's called Proportional Representation.

🚨"We do risk having an election next time round that is simply indefensible." The flaws of FPTP are becoming impossible to ignore. @profsob.bsky.social & @alanrenwick.bsky.social give evidence to the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee as part of its modernising elections inquiry 👇

Today is the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill. It's an important bill - it's just a shame it does nothing to change the voting system that leaves millions of people without representation 👀 We went to Westminster to speak to MPs about this. Our CEO Emma Harrison explains 👇

🎁 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 🤯

🎥 NEW INTERVIEW 🎥 "We can't combat climate breakdown without a more effective democracy." @georgemonbiot.bsky.social spoke to Young MVM volunteer Hugo Harvey about how our dysfunctional voting system leads to a toxic political culture and undermines climate action. Watch here 👇

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 ✨

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.

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:

"All we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic whilst ignoring the huge iceberg that's actually causing it to sink." 🚢 British politics is broken. It's been broken for a long time. Just replacing this or that politician won't fix it. It's time for system change.
