- Post Brexit PR?
Check out my article: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/owen-winter/eu-referendum-brexit_b_10559188.html
Between doing my AS level exams, I’ve been looking at the potential outcomes of the EU referendum. Whatever your view of the EU, a win for "leave" would mean profound decisions have to be made about the future of the UK and its relationship with the world. The 2015 general election manifestos did not include plans for a Britain out of Europe. Without a post-Brexit election, not only would Parliament still be unrepresentative, but it would be enacting decisions - about trade, economics, immigration and sovereignty - that no one has voted for.
- Open letter to Cameron & Penrose
We've just sent our second open letter to David Cameron and John Penrose to demand that they answer for the broken electoral system they are determined to maintain: http://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/open-letter-to-cameron-penrose/
The letter was signed by over 8,500 people from every major political party.
- Labour for PR
Today we have launched our Labour for PR webpage to mount a campaign promoting Proportional Representation as Labour Party policy. With five major parties already signed up to our Declaration, Labour's support will be crucial to successful reform.
http://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/labour4pr/
Working together, Party activists, the Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform and Make Votes Matter have drafted a motion calling for PR for Parliamentary elections.
Labour members can support this motion now by logging into Your Britain - the Labour Party's online home of policy development and ideas - and voting for it.
If you're not a member of the Labour Party, please help by sharing these pages with everyone you know who is.
Thank you for your support,
Owen & the Make Votes Matter Team
