Clive is right: the UK's political system overwhelmingly favours the Tories. Labour needs to finally move beyond First Past the Post.

Progressives need to wake up to the reality of the UK’s political system and electoral system, which has historically and will continue to overwhelming favour the Conservative Party. To challenge their power, we're going to have to work together to work out how to stop them.

Good to hear @Keir_Starmer reiterate his point from the Leadership election, that "millions of people vote in safe seats and they feel their vote doesn’t count." The next election will be fought under FPTP, but Labour must pledge to end this injustice when we win #Labour4PR 🌹

Keir Starmer is right: "It's not just Tory ideology that drives sticking plaster politics - it's the whole Westminster system." In government Labour will take on this broken system to "transform our economy, politics and democracy." But this will only succeed if it includes PR.

📉 At 58%, the Tories & Labour got the lowest combined share of the vote in over 100 years 💔 The 2 party system is broken It's propped up only by our flawed First Past the Post voting system - which cannot reflect & serve the people in 21st century Britain 🌹 #Labour4PR

When everyone has a vote that counts, more people turn out to vote. That's why studies have shown PR countries have 5-8% higher turnout than FPTP countries. #RealDemocracy #Unite4PR 🗳

We agree. The electoral system is enabling right wing Conservative governments on a minority of the vote. Labour must wake up and embrace PR. Join our campaign at

If Labour wants to win the next election, it will follow this plan. ⬇️ If it doesn't follow it, it won't win. Real simple.
