At the last election, the Tories won 56% of the seats with only 43% of the vote.
Research suggests if the share of seats matched the share of votes they received, the Tories would've only won 2 of the last 21 elections & even Thatcher would have failed to secure a majority. 2/

“Britain can’t wait another 5 years for Labour to acknowledge reality, that the current system unfairly keeps them out of power and silences the progressive majority in the UK. They must endorse proportional representation when it is considered in Liverpool.” @pimlicat 3/
“The Conservative Party have been in power for more than two-thirds of the last century without ever winning a majority share of the popular vote. Combined with the Parliamentary whip system, FPTP ends up handing inordinate power over our lives to a tiny elite." @AndyBurnhamGM 4/
“In recent years working people have come to recognise that the current system has consolidated power in the hands of politicians who have lined the pockets of their rich friends & protected the profiteering of corporations whilst undermining workers’ rights." @johnmcdonnellMP 5/
If you're at #Lab22, or support a fairer voting system, sign the pledge to support the #CantWait campaign today and proudly back electoral reform. 6/6
