Hannah Spencer at our rally for Proportional Representation last summer. "We've got more in common than sets us apart" "Our vote is a right and our votes should count. Our voices should be heard...We can change this and we will change this...let's Make Votes Matter!" 🗳️

This is Hannah Spencer MP speaking at our Manchester rally for Proportional Representation last summer ☀️ We're pleased to have another passionate supporter of PR in Parliament - but it's still wrong that almost 6 in 10 voters in Gorton and Denton didn't get representation. Regardless of who wins, we keep campaigning for fair votes for all.

Gorton and Denton residents deserve better than having to tactically vote. We all do. Ask your MP about PR ahead of the Elections Bill debate on Monday! actionnetwork.org/letters/repres…

"Under these rules, negative campaigning is rational. Bar charts (sometimes questionable ones) matter far more than manifestos." Our campaigner Livvy writes about what she saw and heard in Gorton and Denton - and why the case for PR is stronger than ever. makevotesmatter.org.uk/campaign-updat…

We deserve better than governments that 2/3 of the public voted against, or MPs that 3/4 of their constituents didn't choose. We deserve better than to be ignored over and over again, because of where we live or who we support. We all deserve better than First Past the Post.

Labour won't be using First Past the Post to choose its new Deputy Leader. So why does the government keep telling us that it's the best system for electing MPs? 🤔

The more parties are competing under First Past the Post, the lower the proportion of votes needed to win total power. The next general election results will likely be so distorted, we might as well pick the winner out of a hat. There is a solution: Proportional Representation.

Yesterday in Manchester! Thank you to everyone who showed up to the Rally for Real Democracy. People are fed up with a voting system that distorts public opinion and leaves millions unrepresented. It's time for change. #PRnow

"FPTP was designed for a two-party system. But that world is gone. Britain needs a voting system that reflects how people actually vote today, not how they voted in the 1950s." The case for PR is now stronger than ever, argues our CEO @Emma_Campaigner 👇 makevotesmatter.org.uk/latest-news/20…

⏰ Labour needs to wake up 🚨 If anything like these vote shares happened in a general election, the far right would win a landslide majority thanks to our broken voting system 🎰 First Past the Post is a gamble with Britain's future 🌹 #Labour4PR
