Yesterday we were out in Keswick, making some noise in the hope that it woke up those in Westminster who are sleeping on a broken voting system.
Hopefully they heard us. We know the people in Keswick certainly did!
#WakeUpWestminster
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
What a day!
Finishing off with a well deserved pint (or two).
Lots of conversations. Lots of badges, leaflets and beer mats given out. Lots of visibility. Lots of ongoing conversations to be had and leaflets to be given out too.
Well done Cumbria and Lancaster #PRnow
Great day so far, just one stop in Lancaster to go. We'll be where Penny Street meets Market Street in just over half an hour.
See you there?
#PRnow
All set up in #Brampton.
Lots of interest and some signups already 🙂.

The vote share needed to win a majority in Parliament is getting lower and lower.

We need #PRnow.

Great speeches. Great Rally.
Momentum is with us!
We will keep on pushing for electoral system change to Proportional Representation.

"When people feel unheard, populism finds fertile ground. Populism isn’t inherently bad - but when democratic systems fail, anger festers."

The task of fixing our broken democracy looks more urgent every day.

Don't keep our broken First Past the Post electoral system.
It doesn't work for *any* party & will split & waste even more votes.
#distrust & #alienation
We need a national commission now!

Democracy doesn’t collapse overnight. It frays, thread by thread, until one day you notice it’s no longer holding us together. This International Day of
