Hello Bluesky! We're looking to add to the voices pushing for #ProportionalRepresentation in the UK. It's much needed as our current electoral system is not fit for modern times (if it ever was). We need to network, share ideas, and combine our voices to change the system ✊🏼.

Labour won the last election on just a third of the vote. Now Nigel Farage believes he can do the same. Right, left or centre - NO ONE with minority support should have 100% of the power. That's why we demand Proportional Representation.

A fair voting system would mean no majority Tory government again. 1931 was last time they got over 50% of the vote. Their highest since Thatcher, was her first election in 1979, 44%. The country is NOT Tory. So it's incredible that Labour don't support fair votes. bsky.app/profile/gree...

"This is the most disproportionate election result that this country has ever seen." Congratulations to Sarah Olney whose PR Bill has passed to second reading 👏👏👏 She's right: we urgently need a fairer system where all votes matter. Help win it 👉 makevotesmatter.org.uk/2024-winter-crowdfunder/

Just started our new account, and kicking it off with some pics of our stall at #stonystratford today in #miltonkeynes where we spoke to local people about getting electoral reform on our MPs' agenda! As usual an overwhelmingly positive response. The idea that people don't care is so wrong!
