[[link removed]] Building a better democracy{SALUTATION~DEAR NAME OR FRIEND},
Today marks 200 years since one of the first battles for the vote – the Peterloo Massacre
[[link removed]] . It’s a good day to discuss how our political structures need to change today.

We may now have universal sufferage, but with Westminster's broken first past
the post voting system not every vote is equal. The 2017 election saw 68% of voters fail to make a difference to the result
[[link removed]] – and one in five felt forced to vote ‘tactically’
[[link removed]] – holding their noses at the ballot box.

The majority of parliamentarians are still unelected, with around 800 Lords
compared to just 650 elected MPs; and with women making up only 32% of MPs,
Westminster remains one of the worst offenders when it comes to diversity.

The events of 2019 have put the problems of Westminster’s system into sharp
focus. Just like in 1819, Westminster's political system has failed to keep up
with a changing country.

Read and share our article on how broken Westminster is today.
