Our rally on Saturday 25th July was the first major gathering calling for voting reform since the General Election. People want their voices to be heard - they want a fair voting system, and the issue of our broken electoral system is not going away. This is the start of a major campaign to make sure seats match votes in 2020. Join the movement for voting reform by signing the declaration:

Declaration for Voting Reform
The 2015 General Election was the most disproportionate in UK history. One party needed only 23,000 votes to win a seat, while another needed almost 4 million. And nearly three quarters of the votes (22 million) did not count towards the outcome.
Our voting system is broken. The number of seats a party gets bears little relationship to the votes they receive. And only a minority of voters have the power to affect the outcome of an election, which means most people have no say about who represents them.
This must not continue. Our voting system should instead ensure:
That those who are entitled to vote have a vote that counts, and counts equally – no matter who they vote for, or where they live;
That the share of seats a party gets should closely reflect the share of votes the people give them.
