The campaign for Proportional Representation absolutely must be won in the next 3 years.
No party, let alone a dangerous racist party like Reform , should have any prospect of winning absolute power on 30% of the vote.
📝OUT NOW
In 2029, Reform UK could win on under 30% of the vote according to some polls. Our new research paper shows our voting system has a hand in this.
Read more & find out why electoral reform is not a nice-to-have, but an emergency.

This MASSIVE MRP (13k people polled!) lays bare the intrinsic issue with FPTP.
Reform would be on course the form a government with just 27% of the vote. The democratic deficit is huge.
The case for PR has never been clearer.

Thames Water sits in £22bn of debt whilst failing to provide clean, safe, affordable water.
We're proud to support this Council motion.
Public ownership is the only answer. The arguments against are drying up.
Lewisham Greens are bringing a Council motion to demand public ownership of Thames Water.
Alongside @CompassOffice, we're working with Councils in the Thames Water region to to make their position clear. Enough is enough. Thames Water's profiteering and pollution cannot continue.
Together, we'll make sure that the voice of the 82% of people who want public ownership of water is heard.
Listen to @liamshrivastava talk about why he's bringing the motion here.

'In a fragmented 5 or 6 party system, a party can get a majority, with 30% of the vote': @OllyGloverLD at the Lib Dem Electoral Reform fringe at #LibDemConference2025
Time to put a stop to that with #ProportionalRepresentation.

New report: "Thin Ice: Why the UK’s progressive majority could stop Labour’s landslide melting away."
Labour’s 2024 win was historic—but fragile. 4 in 10 Labour voters "don't identify as supporters". To secure a decade of renewal, Labour must unite with progressives.

🗳️ "We can really push for that National Commission - because I do think we need that basically national conversation about the need to shift to a fair, proportional voting system."

ALT The appalling stabbings in Southport have shocked us all and my heart goes out to the families affected. But the despicable scenes of violence we have seen in the last week - and which we understand are planned across the country tonight - do not represent the interests or wishes of the families and community in Southport. I have received many messages from constituents who are dismayed by what has happened across the country and are deeply worried about what may be planned locally. I am in contact with Thames Valley police and local community groups to ensure that people are updated and feel safe. Oxfordshire is a very inclusive and diverse area and I am proud to represent a seat in this great county. To those who intend to incite violence: you will feel the full force of the law

Message sent. We want to live in peace with one another. A very small minority cannot wreck this. Hang in there everyone.
A phrase that carries on being echoed around #Oxford tonight is “there are many, many more of us than you”. The city’s residents are sending a very clear and defiant message in response to the violent attacks across the UK. @TheOxfordMail ✍️
