Because no one party can speak for the whole of Britain. Because the value of our vote shouldn't depend on our postcode. Because we want to be able to vote for what we truly believe in. Because governments make better decisions when every voice is heard. We need #PRnow

The vote share needed to win a majority in Parliament is getting lower and lower. Whether it's Labour, the Tories or Reform: full control of our laws, our public services and foreign policy should never be in the hands of someone most people don't support. We need #PRnow.

Locality CEO Tony Armstrong responds to the #SpendingReview: “It's disappointing to see the absence of funding for community ownership. Renewal can only happen with direct involvement of local people. Govt must set out a clear way forward on how to put community power at the top of the agenda.”

“We welcome the Chancellor’s investment in health, housing
and local growth initiatives, particularly those aimed at regenerating disadvantaged areas. But local people are best placed to decide how funding is spent, how services are run, and how their area is developed – communities must be in charge of this funding.

“We agree that community assets are vital to growth. That’s why
it’s so disappointing to see the absence of funding for community ownership in the Spending Review. The Community Ownership Fund has enabled community groups to bring hundreds of loved local spaces into community ownership so they can be used to bring people together, create jobs and provide essential support.

“Local grassroots organisations have used community ownership
to revitalise local neighbourhoods, drive economic growth,
and reignite pride in place. This Spending Review was a missed opportunity to help hundreds more do the same. Renewal can only happen with the direct involvement of local people. The Government must now set out a clear way forward on how to put community power at the top of their agenda.”

"England today looks like a four or even five-party system. If this trend persists, pressure could become irresistible to swap Britain’s First Past the Post electoral system for something more representative."
