Our democracy is coming apart at the seams, and only Proportional Representation can fix it. People sometimes claim that First Past the Post is decisive or stable, but for the third election in a row it has failed on its own terms. At the same time it manages to reaffirm all of its proven weaknesses: millions were forced to vote tactically, over 68% of votes had no impact on the outcome, seats do not match votes and we’ve ended up governed by parties that just 43% voted for. It’s time for change. Join us on Saturday 24th June outside Parliament to demand fair votes and #SaveOurDemocracy. Sign up on Facebook now: https://www.facebook.com/events/1740200812687579/ Or register on our website: https://www.makevotesmatter.org.uk/local-meetings/ge2017-demo Co-hosted with Unlock Democracy, this will be both a demonstration and a summit to plan how we can fix our broken voting system, to #SaveOurDemocracy.

Like all of our demonstrations, this will be a positive, family-friendly event - so please invite everyone you know!
