See the video update: https://youtu.be/XMmi26ZSADg A snap General Election has been called and we want to make sure it's the last one to use First Past the Post. Whatever happens on 8th June, we know that Parliament won't reflect voters’ choices at the ballot box. Millions of votes will be wasted, and millions will be shut out of parliament. We will be campaigning before, during and after the General Election to make sure Proportional Representation is right at the centre of the political debate and we'll do whatever we can to make this the last election held under our broken voting system. - Influence the Labour Party manifesto The Labour Party has put a call out for manifesto suggestions. You don't have to be a member or supporter to take part and it only takes a minute. It’s vital that we all tell Labour to back PR because they are one of the only two parties who still don’t support fair votes. Questions 1-5 are multiple choice and do not mention democracy - answer them however you wish. Questions 6 and 7 allow you to write your own text. Be sure to tell them why Labour must support PR for General Elections! Shape Labour’s manifesto: http://www.labour.org.uk/index.php/shapeourmanifesto/ - The biggest demonstration for fair votes since 1918 After the General Election, we will hold the biggest demonstration for fair representation since women won the vote. This will take place in the weeks following election day: once candidates and activists have had a little time to recover, but while the injustice of the result is still at the forefront of everyone's minds.
