No More First Past the Post Elections

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Rushanara Ali MP (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Minister for Homelessness and Democracy)

First Past The Post voting has had its day.

Elections should grant everyone a vote that matters, but ours deprive most of us of a representative of our choosing.

With 5 parties polling strongly, our voting system is delivering chaos and turning elections into a lottery - where few people get what they want. It simply can't cope with the multi-party politics we have in the UK.

Just look at the 2025 Local Election results. In the West of England, Labour won the Mayoralty on 25% of the vote, on a 30% turnout. Thanks to First Past the Post, this mayor won with the support of just 8% of the electorate.

The 2025 local and Mayoral elections - like the 2024 General Election - exposed how unfair, disproportional and broken our voting system is.

These distorted election results will both damage people's trust in politics further and struggle to deliver the effective governance the country needs. To change society we must change the system.

Sign below to demand an end to this broken system and that the government adopt Proportional Representation in our elections — so that every vote counts equally at every election.
