Andy Burnham backs proportional representation for general elections. Says it would force the government to take into account regional needs, rather than concentrating power among a small group of people in Westminster. #lab22

Today Labour could choose to make history and upgrade our democracy.
🔄 Retweet NOW to let them know you want your vote to matter.
Let’s make the number of seats MPs win actually match how we cast our votes.
Let’s make government truly representative.

Tom Stoneham ⬜WTF? How can you want to win an election and not care about the principle of democracy? By believing in elective dictatorship!
Even if you don't care about the principle of democracy, @[email protected] must back #ProportionalRepresentation if it wants to win the next election.
How can you sell policies on climate, health, economy etc unless you pledge to fundamentally change the deeply distrusted system.

Easy. Like most senior politicians, they dream of absolute power to impose their policies. They don't want democracy or compromise but elective dictatorship (which can only be delivered by FPTP).
I'm at #Lab22, campaigning for #ProportionalRepresentation with @[email protected]. Lots of enthusiasm from most quarters but a mysterious antipathy from the leadership, apparently. Don't ask me - I don't know why.
Dave LevyI am packing to go to #lab22
New Tory PM on Monday. 3 weeks later #Lab22 can make it a real possibility they’re the last one we ever see, by backing #PR and working with others to make it so. #GetPRDone
