"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.

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:

🎙️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."

"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.

📺 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 👀

"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.

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 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 👇

"I'd love to throw it in the bin." At #LabourConference2025, Livvy from Young Make Votes Matter asked Labour members about their opinions on the First Past the Post voting system. Here's what they had to say 👇

Coloradans want a Governor who knows our state and is ready on day one. I’ve worked in all 64 counties, partnered with local leaders, led 700+ state employees, taken on big corporations, and delivered billions for Colorado. That’s the leadership this moment calls for.

My fearless prediction is that the “wunderuncs” will all be a bust, soccer is a young man’s game and Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Modric and Neuer are all past their sell by dates.

I didn’t vote for the social media ban; the real issue has always been tech companies allowing harmful behaviour to run rampant on their platforms. But with the ban in place, the Govt mustn’t forget to ensure social media platforms also clean up their act. #auspol #politas
