💥 Fantastic to see the APPG for @FairElectionsUK calling for a 'National Commission for Electoral Reform' 🌹 We're proud to say that a majority of the group's more than 100 members are Labour MPs 💪 The Labour movement is firmly in favour of fair votes 🧵 1/5

Today in Parliament @DrScottArthurMP shared his experience of visiting high schools in his constituency. One of the most common questions he gets is about changing the voting system. The Elections Bill will be a chance to listen to these young people and make their votes count.

Our equine entertainers are the true stars of the show! 🐴

Today, the All-Party Parliamentary Group @FairElectionsUK held its Annual General Meeting. The APPG now brings together 158 MPs and peers, making it the largest in Parliament! With the Elections Bill coming soon, 2026 will be a crucial year for the campaign for fair votes.

Welcome to slot-machine Britain! Our cover this week is on First Past the Post, the voting system that turns multi-party politics into a lottery. Featuring our new modelling of British elections: https://t.co/KJJA4FTciy

🎰 “When First Past the Post collides with multiparty competition, the electoral slot machine spins into operation” ⚠️ A stark warning from the @TheEconomist that the “unfairness of FPTP could undermine the legitimacy of the governments it produces” https://t.co/I3Hkv4jjqJ

Ed Baldwin, political lead for CWU South East region argues that Proportional Representation would give workers more power and help secure workers’ rights for a generation, not just one term.@BranchInvicta #TimeForPR https://t.co/U1ljCeUCW5

Big update: Ohara now supports @base Pay. An onchain solution for onchain creators.

"The electoral system is at breaking point." - argued @alexsobel, Chair of @FairElectionsUK, on the @IainDale show. In our multi-party era, FPTP leads to increasingly unrepresentative results, which risk undermining trust in our very democracy. We need PR more than ever.

💯 “The electoral system is at breaking point now, because we're in this multi-party system, because of political fragmentation.” 🎙️ @alexsobel, chair of the APPG for @FairElectionsUK on @LBC #CrossQuestion

“MPs across the Commons are calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform: a time limited, independent process to review First Past the Post and alternatives and recommend a way forward” 🌹 @alexsobel writing in @prospect_uk 🔗 https://t.co/xIkwMYHuGn

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.

"Every party’s gains or losses could be hugely magnified or minimised by an electoral system not designed for such multiparty competition." The public knows the voting system is broken. The case for electoral reform is clear. 🌹 #Labour4PR https://t.co/IpchkWGHMe

🎲 “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”

💥 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 https://t.co/gSemb6vonV

“The Guardian asked Farage if he still adheres to his lifelong support for Proportional Representation. Silence. It’s become clear he changed his mind, now that our wildly distorting First Past the Post system is his only path to power” ✒️ @pollytoynbee https://t.co/yPuicYq3Qo

“If 30% of the population in Wales vote for a party of the far right, they’ll have 30% of the Senedd, and 70% will continue to be for parties who broadly share a progressive idea of what the future Wales should be like.” 🌹 @MarkDrakeford #Labour4PR https://t.co/Gn9RtT8hkW

🌹 Across the Labour movement, the consensus view is that Britain needs a fair, proportional voting system 🙋 If you're a Labour member, affiliate or supporter, join Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform to help push for this change https://t.co/fY8yj28JFt

📢 Do the government's electoral reforms go far enough? 📺 Looking forward to this @ConUnit_UCL event featuring APPG member @CatSmithMP 🎯 Ministers must go further: from a truly independent regulator, to a National Commission on Electoral Reform 🔗 https://t.co/ECdpGF819K

“Although Labour benefitted from it in 2024, First Past The Post could end up killing Labour. Proportional representation at Westminster elections is long overdue and I wish UK Labour would accept that.” @AlunDaviesMS 💯 #Labour4PR ❤️ #ElectoralReform https://t.co/qn48b9Yska

"The huge support for electoral reform that now exists – among the public, within the governing party & across Parliament – provides a unique political opportunity. A National Commission on Electoral Reform is a ready-to-go plan to seize this opportunity" https://t.co/XUbyMQKvKC
