📺 Make Votes Matter in the news 📺 Our CEO @emmacampaigner.bsky.social appeared today on the BBC's Sunday Morning Live, alongside Sir John Curtice and Lord Robert Hayward. We deserve better than this broken voting system that leaves millions of people ignored. It's time for PR 💪

At Green Party Conference in Brighton, we spoke to loads of members from around the country - including its Deputy Leaders @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social! It's great to hear that the party is united in calling for fair votes for all.

❗️Important point by our youth coordinator Livvy Gibbs: FPTP is the only system that could allow an extreme government take 100% of the power on under 30% of the vote, putting our rights and freedoms at risk. PR would not just make our democracy healthier now, but also help safeguard its future.

🚨 Urgent message to Labour Conference delegates. Pass it on! On Sunday, you'll get to vote in the priorities ballot, which will decide which motions will be heard at conference. Let's make sure that a fair voting system is on the agenda. Vote for "electoral reform" and ask others to do the same.

There's been a lot of debate recently about the influence of money in politics: whether that's dark money from abroad, or the undemocratic power of super-rich donors. Here's why First Past the Post makes the influence of big money in politics even more dangerous 👇

🗳️ Today is the UN's International Day of Democracy. If you asked people what they associate with democracy, many would probably respond: elections. Voting is a fundamental democratic right. But being able to cast a ballot every few years is not enough. 🧵👇

Today MPs debated the Representation of the People Bill. Together with friends at @compassoffice.bsky.social and @unlockdemocracy.bsky.social, we brought 34 alarm clocks to Westminster to send them a loud message: it's time to wake up! ⏰ Our democracy is in crisis. We need fair votes now.

Thank you @labourlewis.bsky.social for coming to support our action in Westminster this morning! ⏰ Clive is one of the 180+ MPs who signed an amendment calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. First Past the Post isn't working. It's time for a system where all votes matter.

Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

🚨 The electoral reform amendment won't be heard today - it was ruled out of scope. This is disappointing. But if the government thinks this is the last they'll hear from us, they're badly wrong. A fair voting system is not a "nice to have." It must be a priority.

Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

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. ⏰

Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Billy Bragg is right. Over and over again, millions of us cast a vote knowing it will likely count for nothing. It's no wonder so many people are angry, frustrated and disillusioned. No wonder many are losing hope and giving up on voting. PR is a way to give everyone a fair vote and a fair voice.

💬 "Putting power in every postcode means making sure that every vote counts equally, no matter where you live." Our Manchester activist Abbie responds to Andy Burnham 🔥 Our voting system means that some places get a lot more attention than others. Redistributing power means changing this.

📢 Andy Burnham has repeatedly advocated for a fair voting system. Now he has the power to deliver it. More than 16,000 people have already signed our open letter to the PM, calling on him to make it a priority. Can you help get it to 20,000? 👉 actionnetwork.org/petitions/an...

💥 Philip Rycroft - author of the Rycroft Review into countering foreign financial interference - argued for electoral reform at @conunitucl.bsky.social: "We as a country need to think very seriously about this because there’s an awful lot of folk... whose vote leads to no effective representation."

"What principle could be more basic in a democracy than the principle that everybody's vote counts equally?" Today in Parliament, there was a debate about Britain's voting system. Here's just a few highlights. Thank you to all the MPs who spoke out for fair votes!

"We're having situations where parties are winning seats on 25% of the votes." As the failures of our voting system are becoming more clear than ever, the case for Proportional Representation is attracting more and more media attention. Here's @patrick-pme.bsky.social on Radio 4 👇

Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

There is a reason why most of the world's stable and successful democracies use proportional voting systems. PR isn't just fairer and more democratic. It also leads to better, more popular and more effective governments. It's time to change the system and transform our politics for good.

"All we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic whilst ignoring the huge iceberg that's actually causing it to sink." 🚢 British politics is broken. It's been broken for a long time. Just replacing this or that politician won't fix it. It's time for system change.

Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well. With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote. This needs to be a wake-up call.

We already know that the local elections will be a mess. Councillors elected on tiny vote shares. Majorities won without majority support. Maybe even councils where the party with the most votes is not the one that wins the most seats... It's time to admit that the system is broken.
