No single state can end the tit-for-tat gerrymandering cycle on its own.
A national shift to #ProportionalRepresentation w/ multi-member would end gerrymandering, allowing voters to choose their leaders – rather than the other way around.

Improving redistricting with proportional representation - FairVote
The Fair Representation Act would improve redistricting by implementing multi-member districts and ranked choice voting for the U.S. House.

"One thing many Americans don’t appreciate is just how unusual our political system is. As democracies go, we stand out in that we have fewer political parties than just about every other country out there (save the authoritarian ones)."
#ProportionalRepresentation is what we need to address this.

DC elites need to catch up with voters' understanding of how broken our government actually is. Minor tweaks won't solve our problems. We need major reform. @rorytruex.bsky.social @leedrutman.bsky.social

We need #ProportionalRepresentation before the next election if we want to keep Reform out. Labour don't stand a chance next election if they don't embrace the idea before then...

Millions of voters are forced to vote tactically, for the least worst option under the wacky maths of the first-past-the-post voting system.
It’s way past-time to “Make All Votes Count”

Brilliant reply, as ever from Zack. And isn't it time that - like with gender - we break free of this idea that it's a binary Left/RIght? We need #proportionalrepresentation to reflect the spectrum! And also join.greenparty.org.uk if you want to feel hopeful!!
The interviewer asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social if he's worried about splitting the left vote & whether the best way to beat the right is to vote Labour.
Zack: "The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent"

The canny plucky Liberal Democrats have about 83,000 members and 72 seats!
Think what The Green Party might get at #GE2029UK! Join them!
Plenty of time to organise and campaign. What's the worst that can happen? We see a cleaner greener world a few years early‽

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.

I argue for a #WrittenConstitution and #ProportionalRepresentation, for #Leveson2 too among other measures like enforced political transparency, strict lobby controls and state party funding.
That direction needs to be firmly established, but not all need to be finalised before we #RejoinEU.

A range of reforms could end gerrymandering for good and make district lines less important. The best would be a national shift to #ProportionalRepresentation with multi-member districts, as embodied by the Fair Representation Act.

Our politics is as dysfunctional as ever. Voters want change, but our elections leave tens of millions w/out real choices on their ballot or a voice in our democracy.
A new report from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences shows how #ProportionalRepresentation can change that.

This lack of choice and competition leaves tens of millions of Americans unrepresented in Congress.
The result? Toxic polarization that fuels gridlock and dysfunction.

I appreciate where Prop 50 is coming from, I personally will vote for it. But it really is NOT "proportional representation." If @cademocrats.bsky.social are really interested in #ProportionalRepresentation let's talk about how to do that! @prorepcoalition.bsky.social
Here's what Prop 50 really is:
→ TEMPORARY emergency maps that expire in 2030
→ FAIR and proportional representation
→ A direct response to Trump & Republicans’ power grab
Trump is rigging next year's elections, and California can stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50! Vote early cadem.org/voter-resources/

If Labour were 'big' enough to introduce #ProportionalRepresentation
then we'd avoid extremist governments.
