Amid the current political chaos, a new petition for Proportional Representation (PR) has surged to 40,000 signatures on the official Parliament petitions site. If the petition reaches 100,000 signatures, it will be debated by MPs in Parliament. Sign it here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/245488
Many people - both Leavers and Remainers - feel frustrated by the current political impasse. Our unrepresentative parliament is not able to represent the views of the public and our old political parties are falling apart. To solve the issues around Brexit, we need a representative parliament elected by PR.
This petition, started by a concerned member of the public, shows the surge of support for PR in the last few months and years. As Make Votes Matter activists, we have to make the most of it!
How to get this petition to 100,000 signatures
Here are three steps we are asking you to take:
- Sign the petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/245488
- Share it on Facebook, Twitter and by email. You can do this quickly and easily using these links: Facebook, Twitter, Email.
- Think of three friends who might be interested in signing the petition. Go and have a chat with them about PR, maybe over a cup of tea. We need to get the nation talking about how we save our democracy!
Thank you for all of your support, together we can win PR in years, not decades!
