The time has come for proportional representation. Together with cross-party leadership, I have written to Andy Burnham calling on him to commit to rebuilding public trust in politics and bringing in proportional representation before the next general election.

Dear Andy,
“There is nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come, and proportional
representation’s time has come”. This is what you told Labour conference last year – and, as a cross
party group of MPs, we could not agree more.
As you have recognised, we have a responsibility to rebuild the public’s trust in politics. As people
struggle to pay their bills, fight to provide a home for their family, and watch as the world becomes yet
more unstable, too many people have little belief that politicians are working for them. Sadly, 46% of
people “almost never” trust British governments of any colour to place the needs of the nation before
the interests of their own political party. In 1986, this figure was just 12%. This growing
disillusionment is driving division and unrest in our communities.
Specifically, voters now feel there is little connection between the paper they place in a ballot box and
decisions made in Westminster. And they would be right. Almost three quarters of votes did not
directly affect the outcome of the 2024 election, according to the Electoral Reform Society. How can
we ask the public to trust our political system when so often their voice doesn’t count?
Yet there is a remedy for this – one we know you support. Introducing proportional representation can
ensure every vote matters at the next election.
When you enter Downing Street, we call on you to:
• Introduce proportional representation ahead of the next general election: We know you
have committed in recent months to making proportional representation a future Labour
manifesto commitment, but there is no time to lose. If we want to ensure our politics is not
hijacked by those who seek to divide us, rebuilding trust through a more representative voting
system is vital.
• Set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform: We welcome the backing you have
given to a national commission and urge you to set this up swiftly so it can report back to
parliament i…

Less than two months ago, you said you remained committed to proportional representation. You must
make clear as Prime Minister that this remains an immediate priority and is front and centre of your
plans to restore trust in politics.
There is consistent support for electoral reform from a majority of the public. As you set out on your
mission to deliver “the biggest rebalancing of power this country has ever seen”, it’s critical there’s no
delay in making sure proportional representation is part of your agenda.
Yours sincerely,
Ellie Chowns MP, Leader of the Parliamentary Green Party
Lisa Smart MP, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson
Dave Doogan MP, Leader of Scottish National Party in the House of Commons
Liz Saville Roberts MP, Leader of Plaid Cymru in the House of Commons
Sorcha Eastwood MP, Alliance Party

If you truly care about those less fortunate than yourself, if you’re inclined to help people rather than hate on them, if you can see beyond what’s in it for you and contemplate what might alleviate the suffering of others, then think really hard about how you vote tomorrow. 🟢

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
