In 2025, only 16% of the councillors elected had majority support.
In councils across the country, landslide majorities were won on minority vote shares.
This year will be no different. When will the government accept that First Past the Post is not fit for purpose?

This week, Unite member John Doolan gives us pause for thought, 'Just as union-negotiated agreements are harder to ignore than individual complaints, legislation built on broad democratic backing is harder to unravel.” #TimeForPR #heartunionsweek

A new political party continues the trend away from two-party politics. First Past the Post is producing increasingly distorted results in elections where voters have a wider choice of parties. We need proportional representation for seats to reflect votes. #TimeForPR

This doesn't happen by accident - there are an increasing number of MPs that believe it's time to make our elections fair so everyone's vote counts equally. #TimeForPR

“We’re now the biggest APPG in Parliament and the public supports our call for a National Commission for Electoral Reform by a margin of five to one. The government should listen and act.”

Here at Politics for the Many HQ, we love a bit of humour. Thanks to @MakeVotesMatter for livening up what can be a bit of a dry subject. And let's face it, who'd rather eat celery than chips? Vote chips! #TimeForPR

There is no constituency where everyone likes the same food, or thinks the same way.
The option that gets the most votes shouldn't be the only one that matters.
Whether at dinner or at the ballot box, wouldn't it be fairer if we could all get what we asked for?

Women need to occupy a representative number of seats in the UK Parliament. We need to be part of that power base, arguing the case on behalf of women now and in generations to come. First Past the Post is blocking their way. #IWD2025 #TimeForPR

In a Parliamentary debate at the end of January, @alexsobel highlighted some sobering facts about the results of the 2024 General Election. Did you know that only four out of 10 voters got the local MP they voted for at the last election? #TimeForPR
