Finally, Tories are coming around to the idea of a proper political system with proportional results. It's embarrassing how far behind the UK is on this.

Needs to be ranked choice, too, though. πŸ‘πŸ» 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ πŸ—³οΈ

This should be a warning to those who support keeping the current system.
Those in power love it because it gives them artificially large majorities, disproportionate to their actual level of electoral support.

Only two countries in Europe use the outdated First Past the Post system of voting for their general elections. One is Belarus - a dictatorship. We’re living in the other.

Parliament is now in the Xmas recess until Jan 9th.

Of the 132 divisions held in this session, 69 would have changed result if seats matched votes.

That is, ~52% of the time, opposition MPs represented MORE people than the Gov't. But the Gov't won anyway πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Every vote should count equally. It's time to put Proportional Representation in party manifestos!

I've just chipped in to @MakeVotesMatter to be part of making it happen. Check out the campaign:

We are facing some tough years ahead and as things stand the Tories will be dealt a serious blow at the next General Elections no matter what. If disenfranchised Tory voters on the right defect to Reform that blow will be even bigger: both Reform and Tories will get a sizeable vote share, but no or hardly any seats. I can only hope that Labour will use their new gained power wisely at that point and reform the electoral system once and for all to PR.

Millions in the UK are represented by MPs they didn't vote for.
