"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.

"We have a five- or six-party-system trapped in the body of a two-party electoral system." @timbale.bsky.social explains why multi-party politics is here to stay 👇 Voters want real choice. We need a proportional voting system that makes it possible.
No wonder we keep getting governments that most of the public want gone. "Only a fifth of the eligible electorate actually voted for the current majority government." Under First Past the Post, that's enough for a "landslide". @robfordmancs.bsky.social for @ukandeu.bsky.social 👇
"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.
Today in Parliament @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social shared his experience of visiting high schools in his constituency. One of the most common questions he gets is about changing the voting system. The Elections Bill will be an opportunity to listen to these young people and make their votes count

❄️ 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 ✨
📺 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 👀
"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 💯🔥
"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 👇
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:
On May Day in LA, police descended upon protesters in waves outside the Metropolitan Detention Center. LAPD lined up and dispersed the initial crowd and left. They returned several times before kettling and arresting protestors, press, as well as pedestrians in the area.

Rubio says that if Iran ever got nuclear weapons, they would use them due to their theological nature. He compares it to North Korea but worse, stating they could destroy Israel with impunity.

Rep. Craig to Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Trump doubled down on his tariff agenda and it cost farmers an estimated $15B in lost sales. Trump gave Argentina $20B and handed their ranchers a sweetheart deal. Only 6% of farmers reported their financial situation improved. I'm embarrassed for you.
Dictator Lukashenko, asked about Zelenskyy's escalating threats against Belarus, lands on a theory: "And there it could be that something happened — somewhere he had a puff [smoked something], somewhere he got a jab, and so on — and he starts making this statement. I simply feel sorry for him." 🤡
