Our electoral system simply can't cope with the multi-party politics we have in Britain today

Dear Roger,

First Past the Post voting is causing chaos - it simply can’t deal with the multi-party politics we have today.

If we don’t change things, a party could win 27% of the vote and get a comfortable majority at the next General Election! 

What kind of mandate is that? It isn’t democracy.

Roger, please will you chip in to our Crowdfunder and help us fight for a fairer voting system?

 

The stakes are high. An opinion poll this week showed FIVE parties polling 15% of the vote or higher.

Just 12% separated first place from fifth place! Yet under our current voting system, that first place party could win all the power.

Now is the time for Proportional Representation: 

1️ More people than ever support PR -  60% of the public now want to change the voting system.

2️ More MPs than ever back it - over 160 MPs from across the parties want a fairer voting system.

3️ The two-party system is over - large numbers of voters are turning away from the 'two main parties'.

The wind is in our sails, especially with the backing of our generous supporters.

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to our Crowdfunder. We're now 33% of the way towards our target.

Please will you help us consign First Past the Post to the dustbin of history?

 

Best wishes,

Tom Brake
