More than 60 Labour MPs call for review of UK #voting system #FirstPastThePost
They are backing a new national commission to examine the current system for #elections to the House of Commons and recommend reforms.

#AndyBurnham does NOT support #ProportionalRepresentation #PR. 😡
Burnham supports #SupplementaryVote, also known as #AlternativeVote #AV, which is NOT a proportional system
And he will NOT scrap the current #FirstPastThePost #FPTP before the next general election #GE2029. So #ReformUK could win a huge overall majority on 30% of votes.
That makes a vote for #Burnham pointiess. He's a #Blairite who won't even introduce fair votes. 😡
There's no point to Burnham. Reject him, #Makerfield!
Voters in English #LocalElections deserve better than First Past the Post
The votes from last week’s local council #elections across England show that #FirstPastThePost is yet again failing to reflect voters’ views.

How the winner-takes-all #VotingSystem has turned on Labour and the Tories
Thursday's #election results raise questions about whether #FirstPastThePost will continue to benefit the Conservatives and Labour in future.

🧵 1/2: If there's anything this #UKpol #localelections has definitely cemented, is how the #FirstPastThePost #FPTP system has been totally played by #Reform & its #billionaire supporters who absolutely don't need #PR, when the system already gives them a disproportionate representation as long as they pass the tipping point, (30% of votes gets 2/3 of seats). FPTP encourages #gerrymandering, which now started in the #UK.
