In a time of political crisis, we have some good news, and an invitation to demand democracy.
I want Proportional Representation
We have signed the Good Systems Agreement, alongside other parties, organisations and public figures.
Together we have achieved something that has never been done in the UK. We’re securing broad consensus about the principles that define good voting systems. Most importantly, seats won in Parliament must closely reflect the votes cast. We have also agreed that the best voting system for the UK would ideally be determined by citizens. This could be done through an evidence-based, deliberative process, like a citizens’ assembly.
We believe this is a major milestone on the path to winning real democracy.
And now you have a chance to play your part! On Saturday 6th July, we are supporting a major action by Make Votes Matter activists all across the country. A host of street stalls and other activities are being organised for Demand Democracy Day. Check out the map and see what’s happening in your area. You can volunteer to help out and meet some new friends, or simply pop along to show your support for getting Proportional Representation in the House of Commons.
