Check out the latest change.org update:

Keep on plugging for P.R., especially now when FPTP is so glaringly inadequate. https://www.change.org/p/make-this-the-last-general-election-to-use-our-broken-voting-system/u/24418118?cs_tk=Ai4axtrdkbTkAgFhtFwAAXicyyvNyQEABF8BvP2_5ihqTmA7m5nKdYvmm-w%3D&utm_campaign=37948e1aa4f4415d9bae202484f933a4&utm_medium=email&utm_source=petition_update&utm_term=cs

Three main asks:

1. Sign the petition! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/245488

2. Share it on Facebook, Twitter and by email.

3. Think of three friends who might be interested in signing the petition. Go and have a chat with them about PR, maybe over a cup of tea. We need to get the nation talking about how we save our democracy!

CHANGE.ORG
