John,

Welcome to the Weekend Edition.

A little weekend reading, a very special Bigger Than Politics listen, and two ways you can help us keep fair elections firmly on the Government’s agenda.


** Britain's constitutional strategy? Fingers crossed.
------------------------------------------------------------

Andy Burnham has opened the door to a conversation about whether Britain needs a written constitution.

But have we learned enough from other democracies that discovered too late just how easily their safeguards could be chipped away?

** 'I don’t do politics'
------------------------------------------------------------

This week's Media Storm is a little different - it's a special episode dedicated to Bigger Than Politics.

It looks at something we've heard again and again: people are exhausted by politics, frustrated by the way it's reported and increasingly tempted to switch off altogether.

So what happens when people stop listening? Who gets left out of political conversations? And how do we make politics feel like something that belongs to all of us again?

** Prime Minister, over to you
------------------------------------------------------------

Thousands of you backed our petition calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

We delivered those voices to Downing Street. Now we've written directly to the Prime Minister asking him to act on them.

A quick reminder - the petition may have reached Downing Street, but the number of signatures is still growing. You can add your name here if you haven’t already. ([link removed])

** Now it's your turn to write
------------------------------------------------------------

We've written to the Prime Minister. Now we're asking you to help us reach the MPs who can add their voices too.

We’re off to a great start. Hundreds of you are already writing to your MPs. Will you help us reach even more this weekend?

Using our simple Action Mail tool, you can ask your MP to write to the Prime Minister in support of a National Commission and help make fair elections a priority for the Government.

It takes around two minutes, and every letter gets this issue in front of another MP and adds to the pressure on the Prime Minister to act.

Will you help us get your MP on board?

Have a great weekend,
