This MASSIVE MRP (13k people polled!) lays bare the intrinsic issue with FPTP. Reform would be on course the form a government with just 27% of the vote. The democratic deficit is huge. The case for PR has never been clearer.

New report: "Thin Ice: Why the UK’s progressive majority could stop Labour’s landslide melting away." Labour’s 2024 win was historic—but fragile. 4 in 10 Labour voters "don't identify as supporters". To secure a decade of renewal, Labour must unite with progressives.

Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey makes it clear the @LibDems continue to back #ProportionalRepresentation even if this time Lib Dem voters nearly got a fair share of MPs! In a democracy, every vote should count and have equal weight. @Keir_Starmer @MakeVotesMatter @electoralreform

Just took my 93-year old Gran to vote. As she entered the booth she shouted "Here's to making sure the Tories are destroyed and Putin's friends at Reform are put back in their box". The whole room burst into applause and cheered us out of the room.
