Have you ever looked at a ballot paper and felt your heart drop?
If you want every vote to count equally click here https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/level-up-proportional-representation
Has the system ever forced you to choose: vote for what you truly believe in and risk getting what you fear most; or vote tactically for someone you could put up with but don’t really support?
If you don’t know what this feels like, then believe me - you don’t want to. As Billy Bragg said “People should feel when they vote, when they pull that lever, that the earth moves.”
But for too many of us, voting under First Past the Post just feels like holding our noses.
If you live in England or Wales, then Boris Johnson and Minister for Levelling Up Communities Kemi Badenoch are working hard to bring you that sinking feeling more often.
They’re trying to change the law so that you’ll have to use First Past the Post whenever you vote for mayors or Police and Crime Commissioners.
We can’t let them do this unopposed. People need to know that this is happening.
Make Votes Matter volunteers across the UK are ready to make sure that people know what the Government is doing. But they need leaflets to do this effectively.
£10 could print 950 leaflets. Can you chip in to print leaflets and fund other powerful campaigning?
