The Liberal Democrats are the only party with conviction on electoral reform

Need something to listen to this weekend, Roger? Be sure to check out Ed Davey on today’s episode of the BBC’s Political Thinking podcast, where he talks to Nick Robinson about our party’s fight for fair votes. Delivering a fair electoral system through proportional representation (PR) is a key pillar of Liberal Democrat policy and the values that drive us. In the podcast, Ed discusses how we are offering to work with the Government on electoral reform, to ensure that everyone’s vote is more fairly represented in future elections - pushing Labour to have the conviction to fight for it too.   Read more on BBC News  ➜   Listen to the full podcast  ➜ Keir Starmer backed PR when running for Labour leader - but blocked it from their manifesto and refuses to support it now. Nigel Farage also used to back PR - he put it in Reform UK’s general election manifesto. But now the polls have shifted, and electoral reform might not benefit him personally, Farage has also rowed back on his commitment. We Liberal Democrats are the only party with the conviction to stand up and fight for what we believe in - not because it benefits us, but because we think it’s right for the country. Not only are millions of votes rendered worthless under First Past The Post, it awards huge majorities to parties with relatively small shares of the vote. That’s why we must not, and will not, give up the fight for electoral reform.   Roger, can you help us fight for PR by sharing Ed’s message with your friends and family?   Share:   Thank you for your support.
