I want a new way to vote so all our votes count. I want those in power to negotiate and work for peace.
Dear Andy Burnham: it’s time to scrap First Past the Post.

Our voting system only breeds instability and chaos, and poisons our political culture. We know you agree.

Now is the time to fix our democracy.

“Things change in this country when ordinary people say 'we demand change'. This is one of the issues that is starting to feel louder and louder at the moment. I think there is that level of consensus that we can't carry on with the system we currently have.”

Local elections confirm it: we’re a five‑party system. Yet FPTP means seats don’t match votes and stability isn’t guaranteed. Govt’s restoring Supplementary Vote for mayors, so why keep FPTP for Westminster? The Representation of the People Bill is a start, but FPTP must go. #FairElections #PR #FPTP
