TAKE ACTION: Tell Keir Starmer that the Representation of the People Bill must scrap First Past the Post and replace it with a proportional system.

Wow! 🤷♂️
With multi party politics & first-past-the-post elections, the winner can get elected on under 19% of the votes cast! 🗳

Truro Moresk & Trehaverne #Cornwall:
🟠 LD - 18.9%
➡️ RFM - 17.4%
🌳 CON - 17.0%
🟢 GRN - 14.1%
⚫️ IND - 13.3%
🌹LAB - 11.4%
⚫️ IND - 7.9%
The delight in these results is that the two FPTP supporting parties, (Labour & the Conservatives) actually faired the worst under their preferred system:

Valid Feelings but WRONG SOLUTION
Merging is an undemocratic solution. It creates a less representative government with less voter investment
The solution is to change the system, so getting 42% of support isn't a majority !
#ElectionReform and #ScrapFPTP in favour of #ProportionalRepresentation
Direct action happens when representative democracy isn't working.
It's no surprise we're seeing civil disobedience when 68% of votes went ignored at the 2019 election... #ScrapFPTP
Quite depressing to see the dozens of sponsored Facebook ads, with the main message: 'Your party can't win here'
Just imagine a world where you could always vote for who you actually supported? #ScrapFPTP
