🚨 Experts warn Select Committee that First Past risks an election that is "simply indefensible". Speaking to the @CommonsHCLG, Professors Toby James, Maria Sobolewska and Alan Renwick say government should now be looking seriously at electoral reform.

We’re backing a National Commission on electoral reform. If we reach 100,000 signatures, Parliament must debate it. It’s just launched, so every signature counts. Sign and share 👇 🔗 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7621… #FairVotes

Will Labour embrace electoral reform? The party has an uneasy relationship with the idea of changing voting systems. But looking at the path set by staying with FPTP, a growing section of the PLP is beginning to agitate for change. My start of the week report for @NewStatesman

"[The UK's] had arguably the most extreme right-wing policies in Europe on immigration, the Rwanda plan, on culture wars, removing ourselves from the EU." Deputy Director Lena Swedlow shows @LauraBeveridge7 why the 'PR lets extremists in' argument doesn't hold. @PoliticsJOE_UK

💥 Professor Vernon Bogdanor writes for @FinancialTimes: "An electoral system should do two things: ensure that the majority rules and that significant minorities are adequately represented. First Past the Post achieves neither." 👏👏👏 ft.com/content/38d83f…

“In Monday’s debate, Labour MPs were among many calling for a national commission on electoral reform… The PM is pulled from pillar to post and his in-tray is no doubt full; still, this should be near the top of it.” ✍️ @pollytoynbee @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

🏛️ Many other Labour MPs tried to intervene, but didn't get called during a busy debate that ran late ✍️ @BeccyCooper4Lab and @Tim_Roca made their own pitch for a National Commission on Electoral Reform in a co-authored article ahead of the debate politics.co.uk/mp-comment/202…
