We need a cap on the amount that anyone can donate to a party, to end the big-donor culture that has led to scandal after scandal. thetimes.co.uk/article/labou…

That feeling when you're halfway through the next Parliament and you realise @KeirStarmer is still supporting the Tory-favouring first-past-the-post voting system!

Great news from Brentwood where councillors from @LibDems & @UKLabour supported a motion calling for the use of #ProportionalRepresentation in UK general & local elections
This makes #BrentwoodCouncil the 36th local authority to pass a pro-PR motion

The Totnes constituency is a ‘progressive tragedy’.
Most of us don’t want a Conservative to represent us, but that’s what we’ve had for nearly a century!
The Totnes primary is underway!

IDEA!💡
Introduce #ProportionalRepresentation “Make Every Vote Count”
**
In a big year for democracy, don’t forget the non-voters
“Unless we can make the case for participation, there will be less incentive for politicians to help those who need it most”

-@GeorgeGalloway isn't right about everything. The things he's right on, he's very right on. #GetPRDone
34 Councils have passed motions calling for the use of #ProportionalRepresentation in UK General Elections
Those who hold the purse strings at Westminster, directly control the funding of local authorities & so the vital local services councils provide

This was a unique by-election contest but the system that created it is shared by every constituency in the UK.
Our voting system allows parties to take voters for granted. Every vote should count - and every one should be earned.
Time to #WinAsOne.

"FPTP encourages Labour to take its big blocks of voters for granted in the presumption that they have nowhere else to go (...) People don’t like being taken for granted.” - @Neal_Compass
We need #ProportionalRepresentation so everyone's voice matters!

Just about everyone is saying that “our political system is broken”
If you agree then join our campaign to fix it with a #ProportionalRepresentation
Voting system
It’s time to scrap the outdated unrepresentative #FPTP voting system
It’s time to #GetPRDone

Despite everything, the Conservatives are still predicted to win in South Devon (formerly ‘Totnes’). That’s why we’re running a Primary to unite the progressive vote around just one candidate.
Let’s be clever and vote together.

Local communities are fed up with rotten #FPTP, and more and more are taking matters into their own hands, by running a #PoliticalPrimary 👇

There's so much more that unites Green, Labour and Lib Dem voters than divides us. People in South Devon are coming together to elect an MP who better represents the shared values of the progressive majority.
