Thank you to everyone who signed our letter to Jeremy Corbyn! We made it into the independent and kept the pressure on Labour to support PR. You can nsee the letter here: http://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/corbyn-letter/
If we are going to succeed, we need to keep PR high on the agenda even when it's not an election. You can help by sharing and promoting this article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-mps-write-to-jeremy-corbyn-to-ask-him-to-back-proportional-representation-a7014456.html
On Saturday (7th May), we are meeting in Old Palace Yard for the Demo for Democracy. On the anniversary of the most disproportionate general election in British history, we are demanding proportional representation.
There will be speakers from across the political spectrum, live music, creative actions and lots of fun! Speakers include:
George Aylett, Young Labour National Committee
Natalie Bennett, Leader, Green Party
Baroness Sal Brinton, President, Liberal Democrats
Diane James MEP, UK Independence Party
