🎙️Our CEO Emma Harrison was on the Shelagh Fogarty show on LBC, discussing some of the results we've seen today:
"If Labour were really bold, they'd think about democratic renewal and say, let's talk about changing our voting system."
In Havering, Reform won 71% of the seats on 36% vote share.
In Ealing, Labour won 66% of the seats on 30% of votes.
In Westminster, the Tories won 59% of the seats on 35% of the vote.
In Sutton, 44% of the vote gave the Lib Dems 93% of the seats.
Under FPTP, whoever wins, the voters lose.
Absolute chaos in Milton Keynes.
The Lib Dems won the most seats - despite coming FOURTH in vote share.
Do we need any more evidence that First Past the Post isn't working?
It's never been more clear: The First Past the Post voting system is not working.
It's time to end this chaos.
I've added my name to this letter calling for Proportional Representation. Add yours too.

🚨 BREAKING: the Communication Workers’ Union just voted to back Proportional Representation at its annual conference in Bournemouth @cwunews.bsky.social
📈 Trade unions representing three quarters of Labour affiliates now back PR
🎯 We need a National Commission on Electoral Reform
A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.
Unless we change the voting system, we will see this at the next general election as well.
With votes split across five or more parties, power can be won on as little as 25% of the vote.
This needs to be a wake-up call.
Local “Democracy” results from Richmond & Twickenham.
51% gives single party control.
‘Control’ as in EVERY SINGLE SEAT for one single party.
No opposition
No challenges
No alternative views.
We need Proportional representation for local elections
When do we want it; NOW
#WakeUpWestminister
"It’s easy for politicians to blame the voters for choosing irresponsibly and letting this or that party in.
But the reality is, people are tired of being treated as predictable voting blocs. They want a system that reflects the complexity of their views."

It's never been more clear: First Past the Post isn't working.
The local election results are a mess. The 2029 general election could be much, much worse.
