With the budget being announced today, let's not forget how much there is to fix in this country - building better education, housing, and other things require long-term planning that only collaborative budgets with multi-party involvement can secure.🧵 #ChangeTheVotingSystem

A raft of tax rises is expected in the budget this lunchtime - with the chancellor acknowledging that voters are "angry at the unfairness in our economy" 🔗 Read more trib.al/FfbM8Hm

Rachel Reeves promises "stability for our public finances - the single most important factor in getting our cost of living down." Under FPTP, we've had: ☑️ 6 Prime Ministers and ☑️ 8 different Chancellors since 2015. There's no economic stability without fixing our democracy.

There is a better way. Proportional Representation would give us governments that truly reflect the country, not just a fraction of it. It would push parties to work together. It would give Britain the foundations to grow, to innovate, and to invest in its future.

"Is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?" Great question by @mpmwilko The Government must wake up and get to grips with First Past the Post before it’s too late.

💥 For a new report, @Demos interviewed 700+ teenagers. 72.8% agreed: democracy must be defended at all costs. But many weren't happy with the way it currently works. "Change the voting system" was proposed as one of the solutions. We agree. Read more: demos.co.uk/research/insid…

The Dutch election proved what we've been saying for ages: that PR voting systems tame extremist parties and expose them. FPTP in Britain has delivered Reform's agenda without them needing to get anywhere near Number 10. The Temper Trap author Stuart Donald for @politicshome.

🔀 With politics fragmenting, experts warn First Past the Post risks plunging the UK into chaos next general election 🤝 Parties have an opportunity to get a grip on this risk to our national stability 👉 We need a National Commission on Electoral Reform bbc.com/news/articles/…

Pleased to announce that I've been elected as President of Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform @LibDem4ER. Excited to continue the work that @sarahjolney1 has already done in her role. It's time for progress on issues such as votes at 16, voter ID & wider electoral reform.

We will keep supporting @EdwardJDavey and @LibDems in the fight for fair votes, including working with our allies and cross-party - First Past The Post has got to go!

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10. We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

"First Past the Post doesn't represent the British people and doesn't give voice to their concerns." @EdwardJDavey Inside and outside of Parliament, there's a growing cross-party consensus: our voting system is not working. It's time to scrap it. 🚮

🎲 “The case for First Past the Post absolutely breaks down... when an election result feels random, its hard for that to feel legitimate” 🎙️ @dmk1793 discusses our call for a National Commission on Electoral Reform on @OhGodWhatNowPod 💯 “I think this is the way forward”

We deserve better than governments that 2/3 of the public voted against, or MPs that 3/4 of their constituents didn't choose. We deserve better than to be ignored over and over again, because of where we live or who we support. We all deserve better than First Past the Post.

💥 Great to see members of the APPG for Fair Elections calling for a fair, proportional voting system As @annalouisedixon writes, the first step is a National Commission: “a time-limited independent review, guided by expert evidence and the values of the voting public.”

“To tackle the hate & division we see dominating our modern political debate we have to build a democracy that is truly representative of its people” 🌹 @annalouisedixon makes the case for Proportional Representation, starting with a National Commission renewal.org.uk/blog/eletc/
