#ProportionalRepresentation is one of the four pillars of our work at Rank the Vote.
As Alan Durning writes: "Countries with proportional representation are better at managing conflict and solving hard problems."

"Proportional representation is the right destination for US democracy reformers because it is the best remedy for gerrymandering, gridlock, and polarization. Countries with #ProportionalRepresentation are better at managing conflict and solving hard problems."

It's an eternal mystery why the Labour leadership is wedded to FPTP when the Labour membership overwhelmingly favours #ProportionalRepresentation
I do have some sympathy with Canada's Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre over Carney's Liberals securing a House of Commons Majority, in part due defections. There is though a question to be asked of Poilievre- Does he support fair votes? #ProportionalRepresentation

Don't you deserve to be heard and represented?

Sounds like Avi is ramping up for #ProportionalRepresentation. It would be nice to have more coalitions and fewer majorities. Parties that refuse to work with others don’t pass legislation.
It takes a lot longer to build something than to break it.
We'll likely need #ProportionalRepresentation (to ensure a Far Right gov cant just do another Brexit)
We'll need a government and parliament fully will to #Rejoin.
And we'd likely need like 10 years of negotiations with the EU 😔
So are there any chances of getting #ProportionalRepresentation now, #Hungary?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hooray! Now let’s get #ProportionalRepresentation in Canada. It’s so telling that the first thing Orban did with his original super majority was to functionally undo PR in Hungary and gerrymander districts. Populists fear true democracy. Today an especially unpleasant one has been kicked […]
So now Dozy Don is blockading the Straights himself and openly aligned with his Dommy Daddy Putin on Orban?
Sure.
Have another #birddrawing. This one is one hates #GopQuislings, wants #EpsteinTrials, #OrbanOut, and #systematicreform to the US Constitution with #proportionalrepresentation.
What we need is #ProportionalRepresentation, so parties learn to accommodate the needs of all Canadians.
Stephen Harper's wish to have a "Strong, Stable Majority" convinced me that majority governments just give one party (and those pulling the strings) free reign to do as they wish.

Some Liberal MPs and cabinet ministers won't see #ProportionalRepresentation as top priority ever. . .
Hopefully most Liberal Party members will vote in favor of this resolution of the National Women's Liberal Commission.

As the push for #ProportionalRepresentation grows in the U.S., a better understanding of party preferential voting can assist policymakers and reformers as they consider voting reform.

The most recent floor crossing in the canadian house of commons only furthers my thesis that:
1. You should care who your MP is regardless of Party Affilation & it should play a factor when voting
2. Prorep Electoral Reform must still have directly voting for candidates in a riding. (Stv, Open […]
Heard the Spanish PM lately? We expect our politicians not to compromise in opposition, because they're not in power. And as voters, we elect them to compromise on our behalf as professional politicians, so we don't need to compromise our principles when voting. We need #ProportionalRepresentation
#ProportionalRepresentation just requires repeal of a 1967 federal law:

The Fair Representation Act would do exactly that:

So, our Constitution *already* makes it possible to have a multi-party system.
#ProportionalRepresentation is exactly what we need to be talking about!

A review of the voting system for Westminster is long overdue.

The good news is that #ProportionalRepresentation doesn't require a constitutional amendment, just repeal of a 1967 Federal Law.

ProRep fixes gerrymandering in the Ugly Gerry font via https://fontsarena.com/ugly-gerry/.
Here's why PR matters for California: it means politicians can't gerrymander communities apart! No more "packing and cracking" to dilute minority voting power.
Every community gets fair representation based on actual votes, not creative map-drawing.

Set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform to review the electoral system
I ask the Government to set up a National Commission on #ElectoralReform as advocated by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections.

Great to see Premier Doug Ford finally take action on electoral reform and end the first past the post system in provincial elections for #proportionalrepresentation. #aprilfools #onpoli

Little-known fact: #ProportionalRepresentation wouldn't require an amendment, just repeal of a 1967 federal law:

The Fair Representation Act would do that:
www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
And don't forget the ballot initiative process that can bypass both parties.
