Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform

LCER is a network of Labour members and supporters campaigning for a participatory democracy in which everyone feels they have a meaningful stake. Our vision is of a politics which works to bring our society together. 

We are campaigning to replace the First Past the Post voting system with a more proportional system in which all votes count.

We also support wider democratic reforms which encourage openness, transparency and accessibility in politics.

Campaigns

A democratic House of Lords, regional government that works, and reversing the Tories' attempts to disenfranchise voters.

news and opinion

🤝 Want to restore trust in politics?

🤷 Then address the no.1 reason people are dissatisfied with our general elections

📊 ⅔ of voters want our flawed voting system addressed before the next election

🎯 We need a National Commission for Electoral Reform

Good to talk with @Labour4PR this morning about systems of proportional representation and what they would mean towards restoring trust in British democracy.

I think we need a system for elections that people can have faith in which delivers for the people of this country.

🚨 New polling from @Moreincommon_ finds First Past The Post will fail even harder at the next general election.

🌹 2025 must be the year Labour takes action on electoral reform to bring stability to British democracy.

❌ "I think that's a mistake and I think it was a mistake for Tony Blair back in the 90s."

@AnushkaAsthana talks about parties "not seeing Proportional Representation as a priority" when in government
