Proportional Representation isn’t one electoral system, it’s the simple idea that the strength of each faction in parliament should closely match their popularity in the country.

For many people, that is what living in a democracy means.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr... @OpenBritainHQ

Currently Farage needs only match Labour's 2024 performance and get 1/3 of the votes to get elected with 2/3 of the Seats and basically 3/3 of the power.

Under PR if he got 1/3 of the votes he'd get 1/3 of the Seats and 1/3 of the power.

In 2029, more people will be eligible to vote than ever before. But it could also be the year in which more voices than ever are ignored.

That is, unless we change the voting system so that everyone can be heard.

The publisher and its lawyers describe the decision as irrational and lacking legal basis, arguing it breaches 2012 local government regulations and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, drawing condemnation from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and 43,000 petition signatories.
