Britain feels broken because it is being held back. People feel powerless, and they can't hold the powerful to account. Liberal Democrats want to change our politics so that, together, we can fix our country.

A year ago this week, Andy Burnham told a Labour Conference event that ‘PR is an idea whose time has come.’ Now, as Prime Minister, he has kickstarted the process to deliver it. A huge moment for everyone who believes in fair votes! Time is running out on First Past the Post.

💥BREAKING: Andy Burnham announces a National Commission on Electoral Reform. This is a historic moment. The era of First Past the Post is coming to an end. It's time to transform politics and make all votes count. It's time for Proportional Representation.

Over the summer we went out and asked a very simple question: Is politics working? Thousands of people said "no". People do not believe that the current political system can tackle the challenges that matter to them. Sign our petition for fair votes - let's fix politics. fixpolitics.org.uk

An amendment on a National Commission for Electoral Reform was ruled out of scope for the Representation of the People Bill yesterday. That's why we teamed up with @makevotesmatter.bsky.social and @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social to take THIRTY alarm clocks to Westminster. It's about time it woke up.

We will not let Andy Burnham off the hook. Ed Davey pushed him on his support for fair votes again this week - and in the response he said "This Parliament must be a circuit breaker" It can ONLY be a circuit breaker if he uses THIS Parliament to do the work. We need fair votes now

“Too much time is spent bickering about party colours and not working together” People do not believe politicians work together in the interests of the country and 79% of respondents "definitely" think more cooperation would help. See the full results of the survey: www.lder.org/fix-politics...

It's great to hear that Burnham is still committed to a fair voting system. But words are no longer enough. Now he's got the power to deliver the change he's long advocated for. So what is he waiting for? Our message to the PM is simple: the time for PR is now. ⏰

Today is the third reading of the Representation of the People Bill. The biggest amendment to the bill - signed by over 170 MPs from across the House - calls for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. Our voting system needs an urgent review. We hope the government listens.
