breaking news:
On Monday 2 March 2026, MPs debated the second reading of the Representation of the People Bill. Various members of Parliament, including several Labour members, supported the bill but said it didn't go far enough, calling for a National Commission to examine alternatives to First Past the Post for the House of Commons. We are asking our members to continue to write to their MPs to support the call for a National Commission and to join the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections.
