Speeches getting started at our London rally! @klinaj “We don’t live in a real democracy…most countries use forms of Proportional Representation” @emmabest22 quoting Winston Churchill making the conservative case for PR: “if such a prominent Conservative can make the case for equal votes, we should soon have a few more coming on side”

Here's just one specific example of how First Past the Post completely distorts the will of the British people.

On Wednesday the Health and Care Bill passed second reading.

It will allow private companies seats on NHS decision-making boards.

1/6 🧵
mirror.co.uk/news/politics/… This is strongly opposed by the public.

Asked whether private companies should or shouldn't be given seats on new NHS and health boards, 52% said they shouldn't, while just 28% said they should.

In their own words: How @facebook enabled the @Conservatives to win a majority on 37% of the vote in #GE2015... thanks to targeted online ads and a broken voting system.

facebook.com/business/succe… "Facebook provided the Conservatives with the means to reach the people that mattered: key demographics in marginal constituencies."

The implication that the rest of us didn't matter is correct. Our First Past the Post voting system means most votes don't affect the result.
