Totally agree @mvm-sussex.bsky.social
Here is a comprehensive list of every country in Europe that uses First Past the Post to elect their main house of parliament:
•The UK
•Belarus (a brutal dictatorship)
That’s the entire list.
It’s time we kept better company!

Great to see the MP for Mid Sussex, Alison Bennett, supporting #ProportionalRepresentation in Parliament today!
One reason why I joined the Lib Dem was because I wanted votes to matter regardless of where you happen to live
Today I was so pleased to support Sarah Olney's bill, and to be part of a Parliament that's voted to support a fair voting system
Why not join us libdems.org.uk/join

'A fair voting system is an essential bedrock of a functioning democracy' - Spot on Sarah Olney MP
And in a symbolic vote, that is what MPs have just voted for: #ProportionalRepresentation.
Next, the government must agree to a National Commission on electoral reform.

"This is the most disproportionate election result that this country has ever seen."
Congratulations to Sarah Olney whose PR Bill has passed to second reading 👏👏👏
She's right: we urgently need a fairer system where all votes matter.

We could not be prouder of our newly elected LDER President, Sarah Olney MP - who today moved a Private Members Bill for #ProportionalRepresentation in Parliament.
And we could not be more delighted by the support across parties that helped it PASS!
Woohoo! 🎉🎉🎉
