John,



Today Sir Keir Starmer launched <[link removed]>the long awaited Brown Report on constitutional reform.



It is expected that many of the recommendations in this report will make it into the Labour manifesto for the next General Election.



There’s just one problem…



The report doesn’t mention electoral reform!



<[link removed]>Tell Labour to back Electoral Reform <[link removed]>



That’s right, in over 150 pages, there isn’t one reference to binning Britain’s discredited First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system which more often than not hands total power to the Tories with a minority of votes. 



Shockingly, FPTP is only used for national elections by one other European country - BELARUS!



Reform of the House of Lords is important, but without addressing this critical flaw in our democratic system, Starmer is fixing the roof while the foundations rot.  <[link removed]>



Strangely, the  Brown Report does recommend restoring proportional systems for Mayoral and local elections after the Tories got rid of them through the Elections Act. If Proportional Representation (PR) is good enough for local elections, why not for deciding who leads the country?



You, and thousands of other Best for Britain supporters, have taken part in the Can't Wait <[link removed]> campaign this year. You highlighted the stories of people like Ceri, Frank and Sandra who are dealing with the effects of 12 years of Tory government every day and helped convince Labour Party members and affiliated unions to support PR <[link removed]> for national elections in the UK. Sandra, Ceri and Frank can't wait another five years for the election after next. They need a government that will fix the system for them now.



Let’s keep the pressure up. 



Sign our open letter calling on Starmer put electoral reform in Labour's manifesto:
