Seven million votes sounds unstoppable. Under First Past the Post, it can lose almost everywhere. It’s not about how many votes you get. It’s where they are. Seat maths decides power, not national mood. #GeneralElectionUK #FirstPastThePost #SeatMaths #UKPolling
You can get 500,000 views and still not flip a single seat. Britain isn’t won on timelines. It’s won 650 times over in specific constituencies. If you don’t understand the maths, you don’t understand power. #UKElections #FirstPastThePost #MarginalSeats #UKVoting #PoliticalMaths
British and American voters prefer #firstpastthepost-because they like "winner takes all". Plus they don't do coalitions. #FrenchElections
How many more Tories and Reform could have been taken down if Labour, Lib Dem and Green had cooperated. So frustrating.
The announcement was the policy. #2BillionTrees #FirstPastThePost #AffordableHoussing #CleanDrinkingWater ...
“The Online Streaming Act’s implementation is a prolonged mess. It’s in the ditch. It’s joined the choir invisible. It’s not quite bereft of life but should the Liberals fail to win re-election it’ll have shuffled off its mortal coil, kicked the bucket and be resting in peace.”
#GeneralElection In the midst of all this talk of #ProportionalRepresentation we should remember that if PR was the chosen method people may vote differently to the way they vote under #FirstPastThePost
Mr Johnson USA Senator has managed to insult The UK Population, Reform UK gained only 5 seats with 15% of Vote yet Labour gained 400+ seats with just over 30% of Votes, maybe Jim Jordan can explain to him #FirstPastThePost
The #GeneralElection turn out was approximately 60%. If Labour got 35% of the votes that were cast that means that approximately 21% of the electorate voted Labour. This constitutes a #LabourLandslide in our #FirstPastThePost UK ‘democracy’

Politics isn't working. The public know it. MPs across the board - even Rishi Sunak & Keir Starmer - know it. The #KingsSpeech was Sunak's chance to signal real long-term change by improving how the UK is governed. Instead we got 21 missed opportunities. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Here's a perfect illustration of how our #FirstPastThePost electoral system is completely flawed. The party with the most number of people voting for them isn't able to form govt. all because of the 'splits'. It's time for #ProportionalRepresentation! #nbpoli #nbelexn

PR here? You prefer #firstpastthepost. Most voters do. Simpler and clearer: Winner takes all.
The Lord's has put a stop on so many things recently, though. Shouldn't #PRvotes be the first focus?
Neither the @liberal_party nor @CPC_HQ have any interest whatsoever in getting rid of Canada's #FirstPastThePost electoral system. Why on earth would they? #FPTP has resulted in either #LPC or #CPC govts. since 1867! #LPC #CPC #NDP #cdnpoli #canlab #FairVote #PropRep
Canadian workers need proportional representation. The best countries for workers use proportional representation according to the 2025 global report published by the International Trade Union Confederation. Proportional representation could boost Canadian workers to be treated
Ontario, being ruled by #DougFord's whims is not fair. Things need to change. #DumpDoug #FirstPastThePost #onpoli #ProportionalRepresentation
So Lawrence Fox is bigger than LibDems in Uxbridge. And Count Binface is bigger than both Rejoin EU and P. Corbyn. #firstpastthepost #overanalysisaboutstatisticaldeadheat #itsatie #byelection2023
Fascinating when compared with seats achieved by the respective parties. #FirstPastthePost
Final GE result in Scotland by votes: 🔴Labour 851,897 🟡SNP 724,758 🔵Tory 307,344 🟠LibDem 234,228 🟣Reform 167,979 🟢Green 92,685 🔵Alba 11,784
This is WHY our current #FirstPastThePost election system NEEDS changing to #ProportionalRepresentation; it would make a HUGE difference & we wouldn't have the same problems we are suffering under #Tories; eg on stopping #Water #SewageDumping it would completely change the vote!
Division 217, 2023-04-25: Opposition Day: Water quality (sewage discharge): Prime Minister's amendment Aye/No: 287/187 (Tellers: 290/188) PR recount: 233/270 If seats matched votes, result would CHANGE from Aye (by 100) to No (by 37). #MakeVotesMatter #GetPRDone
This is a graphical representation to decide allying with other parties whether helps @CPIM_WESTBENGAL or not. Point to remember election is conducted through #FirstPastThePost system, where not total votes but votes per seat matters.
@mattchorley #Firstpastthepost asked to name as many curries in a Top 10 list today, which he also asked back in October!😂
What's with recycling questions on @bbc5live @MartinSLewis #MoneyMastermind @MattChorley #FirstPastThePost? You clearly need new content for your questions!😅
🚨#FirstPastThePost can no longer deliver real mandates -only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped! Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-…
@LibDems Millions of people's votes will be wasted. #FirstPastThePost punishes. It’s the same story every election cycle, with only a handful of seats in play. Make every vote count. That’s where #IndividualMPVotingStrength comes in. It says: "Every vote counts."
@UKLabour could lose seats sharply at the next general election — millions of Labour votes wasted and their voice lost: #FirstPastThePost punishes. With #IndividualMPVotingStrength every Labour vote would now count. Plan now and don't be caught napping!

Serious politics needs serious Major Party's, not half baked Minor Party's. Act & NZ First are Insignificant Unimportant Divisive Minor Party's. FPP would cure this issue. Minor Party's with a fraction of the vote should never be in a position to make major political decisions 😕
🧨“The Government’s refusal to look at Proportional Representation is dangerously short-sighted.” @BrendanOHaraMP eloquently warns of the possibility that Reform may win majority power in 2029 on barely 30% of the vote if #FirstPastThePost stays. #ElectoralReform #Democracy

🗳️ The Representation of the People Bill has its second reading on 2 March, but Keir Starmer has excluded voting reform. The Bill ignores the much-needed call to scrap #FirstPastThePost for a proportional system. Join the campaign to demand fair votes. actionnetwork.org/petitions/the-…
The Gorton and Denton byelection meant tactical voting to keep out Reform - isn't it time to get rid of slot machine politics with First-Past-The-Post? Ask your MP to campaign for PR to be added to the new "Representation of the People" bill. (1 of 2)
@Keir_Starmer keeps saying he wants to stop @reformparty_uk The only way now is to get rid of the #FirstPastThePost voting system
It was actually a three-horse race! #FirstPastThePost isn’t fit for purpose anymore. We need PR, #ProportionalRepresentation! It's important for more than a one off election. electoral-reform.org.uk/its-a-three-ho…

Since @reformparty_uk skyrocketed in the polls, NOTHING on #ProportionalRepresentation Before that, they were beating it's drum loudly If these pollings & by-elections are proving anything, it's that the old 2 party #FirstPastThePost is DONE

#IVoted but yet again because of our ludicrous #FirstPastThePost system I felt obliged to vote tactically.
Have you heard? @ElectionsBC has extended the deadline for your mail-in ballot until December 7th. This is only to ensure any votes delayed by rotating strike action will reach them. You should STILL submit your ballot asap, and vote to KEEP #FirstPastthePost #noBCProRep #bcpoli
Canada's been called "the friendly dictatorship". Neutered backbench MPs and the women and visible minorities bullied out by #FirstPastThePost may not feel it's so "friendly". Here's a poster put out by the pro-#MMP campaign in New Zealand. #nzpol #cdnpoli #polisciresearch
#KarnatakaElectionResults2023 reminds me of d lecture I gave to my #ConstitutionalLaw students @BirkbeckLaw on electoral systems & #FirstPastThePost n their reaction. In 2018: INC with d highest vote share got 80 seats n lost. In 2023: BJP with d same vote share got 64 n lost.

Amazing how 43.6% of votes can give the impression that the Conservatives won in a landslide. Many seats were won by less than 10% votes. In a German electoral system, we may have ended up with a LD / Labour coalition #firstpastthepost #GE2019
Can we please have an #open and #transparent conversation about how our #firstpastthepost #electoralsystem marginalized millions of #Canadians last election? Does nobody care #democracy & the #value of each individual #vote? Why should some people’s votes supersede others?
Replace #FPTP with PR voting system #ProportionalRepresention is the only fair way, not perfect but better than FPTP. #FirstPastThePost not fit for this century! #MaharashtraGovtFormation #MahaMasterstroke #MaharashtraCM #MaharashtraPolitics #ajitpawar #shivasena #AmitShah #NCP

The Tories have 85 majority-run councils up for election on 4th May 🗳️🗓️ Under #Firstpastthepost system, the winner takes all and allows parties to ignore often the progressive majority vote 🗳️📉 For all the blue👇shown, there lies a democratic tragedy...
How #LocalDemocracy fails under #FirstPastThePost in LB #Bromley: In 2014 just 40% of electorate voted - lowest #LocalElection turnout of all bar one in 50 years - and Conservative candidates secured only 40% share of poll yet won 85% of seats. #FPTP #PR #MVM #MakeVotesMatter
Here's how monstrously unrepresentative #FirstPastThePost system is. #NarendraModi's #BJP gains 90%-100% of seats in nine individual states of India while its share of the vote there averages around 60%: British formula to get stable government in exchange for rigged public will.
#cdnpoli Look! Even in the animal kingdom they have #FirstPastThePost! Well by gosh, the #Liberals were right after all. Who needs #democracy when we can fight over who passes a post first!?
Course it does, & why we need #ProportionalRepresentation not old fashioned #FirstPastThePost system that in no way represents voters or gives them the feeling that they live in a democracy. We need to use #TacticalVoting for now but aim for PR 👉 stopthetories.vote
