"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.

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.
What do #TraitorsUK and UK politics have in common? 👀 More than you might think... Democracy shouldn't be a game. Share if you agree 👇 #Traitors #TheTraitorsUK
📺 WATCH: Today at #PMQs @ollyglover.bsky.social asked Keir Starmer about the UK's broken voting system. "Does the Prime Minister still have full confidence in the First Past the Post system to deliver strong and stable government?" "Yes I do," responded our 6th Prime Minister in 10 years 👀
🎁 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 🤯
"Keir Starmer said that the sky didn't fall in when we introduced votes at 16 in Wales and Scotland. And I say to you, Sir Keir, that when you introduced PR, the sky didn't fall in there either." Our CEO Emma Harrison speaking at @labour4pr.bsky.social rally at #LabourConference2025 💯🔥
"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.
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.
"Some seats around the country haven't changed hands in over 100 years." On Day 7 of 12 Days of Democracy, councillor @carlcashman.bsky.social reveals one of his reasons to support the campaign for Proportional Representation. ...and what are your reasons? ✨
⭐️ 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."
"As Reform climb in the opinion polls, it is evident that they, like the Labour Party, could win on 34% of the vote," warns our CEO Emma Harrison at the @labour4pr.bsky.social rally. Or less - recent polls show them winning on as little as 25% of the vote. We have no time to waste. We need PR now.
De'Aaron Fox has returned for the Spurs and you see his impact right from the start. First set is Castle setting a backscreen for Wemby. Only that's a fake to get up Wemby screening for Castle. Thunder defend that, quick swing to Fox who drives and finishes. Adds a layer.
Minneapolis is a shining example of a city that stands up for America.
