We need #fairvotes for all.
The UK’s electoral system (#FPTP) currently holds back green groups and smaller Parties like #LibDems
FPTP does not keep extremes out of power - look at the current Government!

New Voter ID laws in UK. Voting in person now needs photo ID.
Whatever you think of this, be prepared and make sure you have it. (And postal voting remains the same hint hint)
Free new voter ID is available

@supertanskiii@twitter.com This is what first past the post voting system gets you. Britain consistently votes for parties to the left of the Tories, but they get 100% of the power because of the UK’s Belarus style voting system. #fairvotes now

2022: A look back at Electoral Reform Society getting #FairVotes Into the Press. #MakeVotesMatter https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/2022-at-the-ers-getting-our-issues-in-the-press/
A New Year message from a movement that gets it and has solutions to address the crises we face.
Make one of your New Year’s resolutions that you will part of the momentum* to break up the stale Labour/Tory duopoly.
The Green Party is the *only* party offering #FairVotes with STV PR, no ifs ands or buts, and the opportunity to regain the rights and freedoms stolen from us all by Labour backed Tory #Brexit.
What’s not to 💚?

Two facts:
The last time a political party was elected to government by a majority of the UK electorate was in 1935...
...and the only other European country to have a first-past-the-post voting system is...Belarus!!

It sets out exactly how our voting system robs us all of what we really want and are crying out for - progressive change. Next time, we must #WinAsOne. #FairVotes https://youtu.be/sWXeHMJ7KAY/

We need a Parliament that represents how we vote, reflecting all political opinion, not one that distorts our vote and gives all political power to a party on a minority vote share. We need electoral reform. We need #FairVotes

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the 2019 #GeneralElection.
A clear majority of the British people voted for parties other than the Tories and 45.3% are now ‘represented’ by an MP they didn't vote for.
But @UKLabour (like the Tories) won’t countenance giving up FPTP 🤷♂️
If you agree we need #FairVotes you need to give up on Labour.
We’ve all got to #VoteGreen💚 to #MakeVotesMatter

Gordon Brown’s ‘reforms’ are a half arsed attempt to save the Union, nothing more.
He falls way short because he’s wilfully ignoring the enormous FPTP elephant in the room:
You want #FairVotes? Labour won’t give them to you — even though their members voted to make PR Labour policy… 🤷♂️
Concerns raised over UK voter ID plans
He said there was an “imbalance” between accepted ID for older people and the lack of options for younger folk.
“We also know from published correspondence that the Electoral Commission has warned the government that the introduction of voter ID is neither ‘secure’ nor ‘workable’ by 2023.”

If you want to see change in this country, you’re going to have to work at it.
You could do worse than join the ERS and help them persuade politicians that #FairVotes are the best votes:
