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

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


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

#FirstPastThePost typically produces a political duopoly e.g. the UK, USA, Canada. It gives unprecedented powers of control & patronage to party leaders You can see it in action right now with our choice between #SunakOut & #Starmer4PM #GetPRDone youtube.com/watch?v=6QCDsu…

“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


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



Wow the world is literally mental all these people making judgements on people thinking we all voted for @Nigel_Farage 😂 no I voted for my local MP who I hope got in because if they don't campaign for it I'm take theirs seat next time and campaign for #PR Vs #FirstPastThePost ☠️

Till parties of hatred, bigotry and division are legal, the #FirstPastThePost system is best to keep them out compared to proportional representation. These parties should not be provided a platform in a ‘civilised’ society #ReformUK


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.

Today English party politics went beyond the pale. To welcome someone of so clearly & grotesquely different values simply to score points is baffling & troubling. It further exposes the utter corruption of #FirstPastthePost that funnels people into 2 absurdly ‘broad churches’💩


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’


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?



@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-…


#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!?


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?

I am calling for the death of #FirstPastThePost in #Canada. When 191,690 (33.6%) voters in #Saskatchewan lose their vote and their choice of representation there is something systematically wrong with our #electoral system. People of #Saskatchewan looking for their 2019 vote:
