Dear John,

Our mission is clear: To defend, strengthen and renew UK democracy.

Born out of the Remain campaign in 2016 - and the People’s Vote campaign that followed - Open Britain is a progressive movement committed to fixing our democracy…to putting real power back in the hands of ordinary people.

We’re not afraid to hold the government to account:

1. We were at the heart of the People’s Vote campaign that mobilised millions of people across the country to resist Brexit.

   
   

2. We were first to campaign to have Boris Johnson removed from office when it was clear he had repeatedly lied while Prime Minister.

   
   

3. We worked with partners across the democracy sector to highlight dangers within the Elections Bill.

   
   

4. We defied the government’s attempts to silence protest by holding our noisy Stop The Rot rally right outside Downing Street…just days after the new law came into effect.

   
   

5. We played a central role in highlighting Suella Braveran’s unsuitability for high office and led calls to have her removed from power.

   
   

6. We campaigned alongside our friends at Fair Vote UK, helping MPs and Peers push back against ugly provisions within the Online Safety Bill.

   
   

7. And we added Open Britain’s voice to the growing chorus calling for a switch to Proportional Representation…something that will unlock a fair solution to the climate crisis, a sustainable funding model for the NHS, a better relationship with the European Union, and better ways of eliminating the many burdens of Brexit.

Under First Past The Post, we’ll never get the change we urgently need.

Without fixing our democracy we’ll be forever stuck with governments pandering to the fringes. Governments which refuse to tackle the big, long-term challenges like the climate crisis and fixing our NHS.

We need Proportional Representation. Add your name now:

We know for sure that the current government won’t introduce PR. There’s a possibility that the next government will…but only if we make it clear that there is an irresistible public demand for it.  And that won’t be easy. But, if we start building pressure now, we can ensure that the 2024 General Election is the last one ever held under this broken system. And that’s something definitely worth fighting for.

Thank you for your support,

Mark
