60% of voters now support electoral reform, according this year’s British Attitudes Survey, the highest level of support since records began. Just 36% of people believe we should keep the current system.

With five parties on double digits, the first-past-the-post voting system makes a complete mockery of any semblance of a fair elections.

It’s way past-time to make seats match votes and GET PR DONE

Four parties within a 5 point swing of first place and five parties on 12% plus.

This would be pure chaos under first past the post.
Westminster Voting Intention:

RFM: 27% (-2)
LAB: 20% (-2)
CON: 17% (+1)
LDM: 17% (+2)
GRN: 12% (+1)
SNP: 4% (+1)

Changes w/ 28-29 Sep.
🤔 Under PR 30% of the votes would return Reform U.K. approx 30% of the seats. Reform would need support of another party/ parties to gain power. Under FPTP Reform could gain a majority on as little as circa 30% of the votes cast.
FPTP allows parties to gain a majority on a minority vote & 💯% power

Is this what we really want?

It is now essential for Labour to use their majority for a once in a lifetime chance to bring in PR for parliamentary elections.

Wake up Starmer, smell the coffee, it's PR or lose the next election.
Fast forward to 2029:
Reform U.K. win a majority and form a government with 💯% of the power on approx 30% (or -) of the votes cast. #FPTP

They can then implement the Reform U.K./Tory policy of leaving the ECHR, against the wishes of the majority of voters.

Just imagine🤔:
with Proportional Representation the Green Party could gain approx 65 MPs on around 10% of votes cast.

"As Reform climb in the opinion polls, it is evident that they, like the Labour Party, could win on 34% of the vote," warns our CEO Emma Harrison at the @labour4pr.bsky.social rally.

Or less - recent polls show them winning on as little as 25% of the vote.

We have no time to waste. We need PR now.

"I'd love to throw it in the bin."

At #LabourConference2025, Livvy from Young Make Votes Matter asked Labour members about their opinions on the First Past the Post voting system.

Here's what they had to say 👇

Reform can win the next election on around 30% of the vote. Starmer clearly hopes that most people will vote tactically to keep Reform out so that Labour wins on around 30% of the vote. Risky and cynical. We need #PR BEFORE the next election!

Never to miss an opportunity to repeat this meme & to promote the campaign for proportional representation😉

At the 2022 Labour Conference, Labour members overwhelmingly passed a motion in support of Proportional Representation.

Starmer:
“It’s not a Priority.”

In multi-party elections, where a single party can gain a majority on under 30% of vote cast, it’s a priority to #getPRdone
PR v FPTP!

💚 GRN: 12% | 78 (+35)
🟡 SNP: 3% | 18 (+1)

+/- vs. GE2024 [PR]
Vote share at 2024 GE and results approx under PR, where seats approx match votes:

Tories 23.7% (under PR approx 154
MPs)

Reform 14.3%
Under PR approx 93 MPs
Total approx 254 MPs

Leaving other parties 396 MPs

Under FPTP Reform (or other) could win a majority (50%+) on less than 3O%

‘It’s not a priority’? 😠

It is!

ALL votes should count EQUALLY,wherever you live +whoever you vote for!

Millions who voted found that their vote didn’t matter, because of First Past the Post!

The only countries left in Europe to use First Past the Post like this are 🇬🇧 +Belarus!
