Liberal Democrats Parliament votes in favour of proportional representation for
the first time ever



<[link removed]>



Dear John,

What a historic moment.

Never before has Parliament voted in favour of fair votes and proportional
representation - until this week.

Members of Parliament backed my Bill to introduce electoral reform - winning a
vote in the House of Commons, despite 78 Conservative and 50 Labour MPs voting
to block it.

We know that the First Past the Post system is broken. It means that millions
of people’s voices are not heard, increasing disillusionment with politics.

And at this year’s election, it produced the most disproportionate result in
our history - with a Labour Government winning two-thirds of the seats on
one-third of the vote.

Liberal Democrats will always be the leading voice making the case for
proportional representation. We’ve used our role as the largest third party in
Parliament in a century to put it right back on the political agenda - and this
week’s vote is a major step forward.

John, our campaign to secure fair votes has never been closer to success.

Now we are pushing Labour to honour the will of Parliament and make time for
the Bill to complete its passage. And at Prime Minister’s Questions this week,
Ed Davey called on Keir Starmer to back my Bill - but sadly he failed to do so.

Watch Ed’s question here:

You can help us show Keir Starmer and Labour just how much support exists for
fixing our broken voting system, by signing our petition for fair votes:

This is a hugely significant step as we fight for fair votes - now let’s get
this Labour Government to finally support proportional representation!

Best wishes,
