"I'm a supporter of PR because, in a democracy, every vote ought to count - and every vote ought to have the same value." "In this conference, the way in which our democracy works is absolutely on the agenda." @PrifWeinidog Mark Drakeford speaking to #Labour4PR last night 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

This is a historic vote today in favour of electoral reform. It'll send shivers down the spines of the Tory party and the Tory press. They've had it too good, for too long. We're on the way to a country that works for everybody where all votes counts. @AndyBurnhamGM #Labour4PR

💥 Proportional Representation has been selected for debate at #Lab22 🌹 CLP delegates voted to make Electoral Reform a top priority. 🙋 CLPs that submitted #Labour4PR motions will now proceed to a 'compositing' meeting 🗓️ PR will be debated by conference

Great to hear @Ed_Miliband backing electoral reform at #Glastonbury. There’s a strong consensus across the Labour movement. It's time for Proportional Representation! #Labour4PR

💥 "It is highly likely Labour conference 2021 will debate Proportional Representation for general elections, after almost half of all Constituency Labour Parties – 314 of 648 – backed the move and at least 144 sent PR motions to conference." #Labour4PR
More CLPs call for PR backing than any other issue in recent conference history – LabourList

📊 New poll from @RedfieldWilton 📈 A majority - 54% - of voters want Proportional Representation for general elections 😮 That’s even higher than public support for reforming the House of Lords 📉 Less than 1 in 8 oppose PR ⏰ It’s time Westminster caught up

"Proportional Representation has to come back onto the agenda... if you want a system where turnout matters and the proportion of people voting matters, change the system... because that ain't First Past the Post." - Alan Johnson 🌹 #Labour4PR #GeneralElection2024
