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.

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

It won't.
Under PR he'd need to get 50+% of the votes to get into power (on his own).
Under FPTP he'd only need ~33%, just like Labour did last year!!!
And should another party agree to go into coalition with him, his policies would be diluted accordingly.

"What is one policy that you would like to make law if you could just snap your fingers?"

"Proportional Representation," says @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Enough About Me podcast with Lewis Brown.

"Everyone's vote should count" 👏👏👏
