Today we are spreading the word about a fairer voting system in Stockton Heath, Warrington. #PRnow
🗯️ "At the next election, a minority party could win a majority of seats with just a fraction of the popular vote."
🗳️ APPG member @annadixonmp.bsky.social made the case in Parliament for a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

"Under these rules, negative campaigning is rational. Bar charts (sometimes questionable ones) matter far more than manifestos."
Our campaigner Livvy writes about what she saw and heard in Gorton and Denton - and why the case for PR is stronger than ever. 👇
Election campaigns should be about debating ideas - not fighting over bar charts and conflicting tactical voting advice.
People should be able to vote with hope, not to block the party they fear most.
If we don't want every election to look like Gorton & Denton, we must scrap FPTP.
First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨
50 leading academics, former senior public officials and politics, law and policy experts warn about the risks of First Past the Post.
Letter in @politicshome.bsky.social today 👇
MVMNWSURREY supporters of electoral reform just had a Valentine's Day meeting with Esher & Walton MP Monica Harding.
🙏Thanks @monicaharding.bsky.social🙏for your support of #fairvotes so we can @makevotesmatter.bsky.social ❤️❤️😊!
Roses are red Violets are blue I want a fair vote For me and for you
Happy #ValentinesDay! 💘
May your love be out of proportion.
But not your election results.
I hear Gordon Brown is suggesting an anti-corruption commission. One thing that does come to mind is had we had Proportional Representation and Starmer had told a Coalition Partner he wanted to appoint Mandelson as UK Ambassador to Washington, what would someone like Sir Ed Davey say? #PRnow
🚨BREAKING: The new Representation of the People Bill is here.
The Bill aims to "restore trust in our democracy" - but it doesn't even touch the voting system that leaves millions unrepresented.
60% of Brits want to scrap First Past the Post.
Tell Starmer to include electoral reform in the Bill ⬇️
‘Representation of the People Bill’ without proportional representation is a joke. And not a funny one 😤
We need the National Commission on electoral reform included in the bill.

If we can have a TV debate on membership of the EU and Scottish Independence, then we should also have a TV debate on the very issue which underpins every political issue- The Voting System. #ProportionalRepresentation

⭐️ On Day 8 of 12 Days of Democracy, The Molotovs singer Issey Carts reveals another reason to demand a more democratic voting system.
"So many perspectives don't get a hearing in Westminster. There's more to politics than binary choices and people are increasingly realising that."
The Christmas Cards being delivered to Samantha Dixon's office.
There were 3 Warrington-based activists present last weekend in Chester, making the case to Samantha Dixon, Chester North & Neston MP, and Minister for Democracy, that the desire is there to change to a Fairer Voting System. #ProportionalRepresentation

🎁 Today is Day 1 of 12 Days of Democracy 🎁
Every day, we will be opening a present and revealing one good reason to support a fairer voting system.
Let's see what we've got today - and stay tuned for more!
11 of the 12 MVMNWSurrey local group members present at the social event at the Wheatsheaf pub in Woking on 5th December 2026. Lots of smiling faces, MVM beermats held up, warmth, fun and hope!
One side of one of those MVM - branded beermats with a blend of colour from yellow at the top to purple at the bottom and including the following text and imagery in white: - "GETTING THE ROUND WRONG - WHAT WE WANTED:" (followed by an illustration of a round of drinks - 2/5 are soft drinks), "WHAT WE GOT:" (followed by an illustration of 5x soft drinks - an analogy for our broken FPTP voting system). "This is how UK elections work. You wouldn't expect it in a pub, so why is it OK for Parliament? makevotesmatter.org.uk"
A photo of 2 bar tables once everyone had left - evidence of lots of drinks, lots of MVM beermats and a lovely time had by all!
#Pints4PR 🎄#Xmas2025

Today we are engaging with the people of Chester, encouraging them to tell their local MPs, one of whom happens to be Minister for Democracy @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social they want a fairer voting system. #PRnow #Chester
We wanted to mark this in the actual Market Cross location.
The suffragist Great Pilgrimage is a great example of different types of people coming together to effect positive democratic change.
We need to do the same now more than ever.
#DemocracyDay #PRnow
Britain's democracy is in crisis. Our First Past the Post voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants.
This #DemocracyDay, we're calling for a fairer system where every vote counts.
It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow
We are all getting set along with MVM Sefton and West Lancs and MVM Manchester to engage with the public at the Wigan Diggers Festival on Fair Votes. #PRnow #ProportionalRepresentation
All set up in #Brampton.
Lots of interest and some signups already 🙂.
