Dear John,

💥 I need your help with something important today.

As a loyal Open Britain supporter, you already know that our democracy is broken. You know that First Past the Post distorts election results, silences millions of voters, and has caused public trust in politics to drop to dangerously low levels.

But did you also know that the tide is turning?

For the first time in years, we have a viable first step to reform and MPs from every major party are getting behind the idea.

That first step is the creation of a National Commission on Electoral Reform - an independent body, led by ordinary citizens and informed by experts - tasked with designing a voting system in which all our votes truly count.

The new All-Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections were the first to call for a National Commission, in their report “Free But Not Fair”. Since then, the idea has caught the imagination of MPs inside Parliament and members of the public outside, and been mentioned in nearly 200 press articles.

Many of the MPs who spoke in last week’s Commons debate on Proportional Representation went out of their way to highlight the case for a National Commission, correctly identifying it as a vital first step towards restoring public trust in politics.

This growing momentum inside Parliament is unprecedented. But to be really effective, we need to complement the MPs’ work inside Parliament with a public movement outside.

That’s where YOU come in!

We need tens of thousands of ordinary people to join the call for a National Commission on Electoral Reform so that the government feels the pressure coming at them from all sides. By generating pressure inside and outside Parliament, we will ensure the government can’t ignore us!

Why this REALLY matters:

🔴 First Past the Post means literally millions of votes are ignored

🔴 First Past the Post produces election results that don’t match how people vote

🔴 First Past the Post has driven public trust in politics to the lowest levels ever

This isn’t proper democracy. But we can fix it - if enough of us demand it.

More than 100 MPs inside Parliament are stepping up to fix this important issue. We want to see thousands of ordinary people stand with them. Will you add your name to our petition and help us build an irresistible public demand for change?

The government will be forced to listen if enough of us speak out! Thank you for adding YOUR voice to this growing chorus!

All the very best,
