Dear Roger, For anyone campaigning for electoral reform, this moment feels particularly significant. Keir Starmer has resigned, becoming the UK's sixth Prime Minister to leave Downing Street in a decade. This has, once again, sparked debates about First Past the Post and its (in)ability to deliver stable and popular governments.
Meanwhile Andy Burnham, a longstanding advocate for Proportional Representation, is widely seen as the frontrunner to replace him.
How do we make the most of the opportunities ahead, and turn growing support for PR into real change? To discuss this, we'd like to invite you to two important upcoming meetings. Find out more below and sign up today! |
All-Activist Call: Are we getting closer to achieving Proportional Representation? |
Join us at 6.30pm on Monday 6th of July to discuss what the latest political developments could mean for the campaign for Proportional Representation. What do recent events tell us about the changing political landscape? What can we expect from Andy Burnham's likely premiership? What arguments do we still have to win? And what opportunities and challenges should campaigners be preparing for next?
Join fellow Make Votes Matter activists to discuss these questions and help shape the next phase of the campaign to Wake Up Westminster.

Ahead of the meeting - or if you can't make it - we recommend reading our latest briefing, Making Votes Matter at Westminster. Click here to read. |
Cross-sector meeting: The Path to PR |
Winning Proportional Representation will require democracy campaigners to work together and coordinate their efforts. That's why, together with our partners in the sector, we'd like to invite you to an open discussion about the route to delivering PR. The meeting, which will take place at 6pm on Wednesday 1 July, is open to supporters of all organisations advocating for electoral reform.
How and when can we win? What role can a National Commission play in bringing us closer to PR? What does a national conversation about the voting system look like? Register and bring your thoughts! |
