In an era of multiparty politics - first past the post is utterly broken. It is time for Proportional Representation. The climate crisis & our inequality crisis cannot wait for another general election. Failing to fix our democracy immediately will betray future generations.

Secularism is a framework for fairness that allows religions to coexist without dominating public life. It ensures that no faith – Christian, Muslim, or whatever – trumps the rights of others. The future of British democracy and social cohesion depends on it. www.secularism.org.uk/opinion/2025...
