Voters shouldn't have to work out how their neighbours are likely to vote before deciding how to cast theirs. We need local elections in England and Wales which work for voters, not one that voters have to work around. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Orbán’s blunder: his gerrymander backfired, giving the opposition 87% of district seats [Welcome to DemocracySOS, a newsletter about the failings of America’s “winner take all” democracy, as well as proposed reforms and solutions.

In 2018, Orbán's Fidesz won 49% of the popular vote and 67% legislative seats.

In 2014, Fidesz won less than 45% of the popular vote and two-thirds of the seats.

Although the tides have now turned, Orbán's 16 years of unchecked power are a reminder: FPTP is an autocrat's best friend.

Great assessment of why we need Proportional Representation by @richardfoordld.bsky.social - Liberal Democrats continue to fight for fair votes!

Great video by @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explaining why Britain's voting system leads to:

✔️ Millions of unrepresented voters
✔️ Loss of trust in democracy and greater risk of radicalisation
✔️ A toxic political culture
✔️ Worse policies

‘Unprecedented territory’: are UK polls as volatile as they seem? – in charts In what is beginning to look like a fragmented five-party system, small swings carry outsized political consequences

So much of our politics still assumes political competition will neatly organise itself into two broad parties.

That assumption is now badly out of date - nowhere more dangerously than in our voting system.

First Past the Post cannot cope with today’s multi-party reality.

💥 City of York Council passed a motion last night calling for Proportional Representation for Westminster and local authorities.

Well done to our local campaigners who helped make this happen 🎉

OPINION: Prime Minister's Questions is more than a Punch and Judy When I knock on people’s doors, I sometimes hear the following refrain.

Anyone watching the yah-boo of PMQs is entitled to think of "children in the playground". Constructive cross-party work takes place behind the scenes. With a fair voting system, that can be the norm. www.midweekherald.co.uk/news/2596225...

OPINION: Prime Minister's Questions is more than a Punch and Judy When I knock on people’s doors, I sometimes hear the following refrain.

"In some areas, First Past the Post could mean MPs getting elected on as little as 25% or 30% of the vote.

That is not sustainable for British politics, and it is time for Proportional Representation." 💯💯💯

Latest UK polling: As voters spread their support, our voting system can’t keep up Where elections often used to be a two-horse race between Labour and the Conservatives, voters are now spreading their support across an increasingly crowded field – and our voting sys

The latest polling is showing that the days of a vast majority of people voting for one of two ‘major parties’ are gone.

Our economy.
Our NHS.
Our education system.
The environment.
Our defence and security.
Our future.

Unless we scrap First Past the Post, they could all end up in the hands of a majority government that as few as 25% of people voted for.

We can't risk it. We need PR now.

Q. If you could pass one law tomorrow with no parliamentary obstacles, what would it be and why? A. It's very very easy. It's the law that would change our country for the long term. It's the law that would open up so much - whether it's health and care, education, transport, social justice, environment. And that law would be to bring in Proportional Representation. - ED DAVEY AT LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CONFERENCE

It was great to hear this from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk at @libdems.org.uk conference.

The health of our democracy impacts everything: the economy, the environment, our public services, our safety and security.

It's time to transform how we do politics. It's time for PR. @libdems4er.bsky.social

We really enjoyed attending the Lib Dem conference and getting to speak about the campaign for a fair voting system.

While there's still a long way to go, winning Proportional Representation now feels closer than ever before.

Thanks for having us! 💛

Millions of voters are robbed of their voice in elections due to unfair first-past-the-post voting. This has gone on too long. I’m proud to support the Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform and their campaign to introduce a fairer proportional representation voting system. @libdems4er.bsky.social

British democracy cannot become a plaything for foreign governments and their billionaire cronies.

MPs who care about protecting the integrity of our democracy should back our amendments to help close this loophole.

First Past the Post is kind of exhausting, honestly 😣

Let's keep it simple. Let's make it proportional.
