We’re inviting all our supporters to decide who's done most to win real democracy, in the Democracy Awards 2016. Cast your vote in this celebration of the work of activists, organisers and leaders from all parties and none! www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/democracy-awards-2016-voting There are nine award categories and amazing candidates from right across the political spectrum - so have a look and vote for your favourites. --- We have two awesome events planned before the end of the year: On the afternoon of Wednesday 14th December, we’re in Cardiff for our event “Democracy in Wales” and our Christmas reception in the Welsh Assembly. Reserve your free ticket and join us for mulled wine and mince pies! www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/events/2016/12/14/democracy-in-wales-the-path-to-proportional-representation. Secondly, the Democracy Awards will be presented at our Christmas Party, in Islington on the evening of Thursday 15th December. www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/events/democracy-awards-christmas-party --- Finally, please make sure you’ve signed and shared the Parliamentary petition for Proportional Representation. When we reach 100,000 signatures, we’ll secure a debate in Parliament. We’ve been getting some vital help from partner organisations like Unlock Democracy, the Electoral Reform Society, PCS the union and the Green Party - and more is on it’s way. But it’s essential that we all do everything we can to spread the word, and in doing so give even more organisations and partners the confidence to get behind this push for a Commons debate. Why not email the petition to five friends? https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/168657 Many thanks for your support. We wish you a great start to the festive season!
