Let's be clever and vote together
A fair & transparent way to choose one progressive candidate to unite behind at the next general election, and stop the Conservatives winning on a minority vote.

Our current voting system, First Past The Post, is failing to accurately represent the will of the people. We must demand a fairer and more representative system that truly reflects the voices of all voters, regardless of their political affiliation. www.midbucksprimary.org
