'A democracy in which most votes have no impact and most voices make no sound is not a true democracy.' πŸ‘

Very interesting piece by John Burn-Murdoch on how electoral geography warps public opinion. Under PR, all votes count equally. Make Votes Matter ft.com/content/940323…

Whoever the Prime Minister is, whichever party is in government, no government should ever again get 56% of the seats based on only 43% of the vote. The next general election should be the last ever conducted under FPTP. Make seats match votes

This is the most chaotic government in living memory, with an 80 seat majority. That tells you all you need to know about the lie that FPTP delivers strong and stable governments.

It’s time to make votes matter.

Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with electoral reform, or chaos with first past the post

2022 has seen a huge number of trade unions come out to back electoral reform.

Our fringe at Trades Union Congress showed how Proportional Representation can deliver a better world for workers in all professions.

Thank you to everyone who attended and spoke!

Don't forget that the only semi-coherent argument for our ridiculous first-past-the-post electoral system is 'stable government'.
