Britain consistently REJECTS the Tories and right wing ideas.
In the 1979 General Election, 56.1% voted for other parties.
1983, 57.6%
1987, 57.8%
1992, 58.1%
2010, 63.9%
2015, 63.2%
2017, 57.7%
2019, 56.4%
The Tories WON them all anyway.
We need Proportional Representation.
Vote Labour where they can win.
Vote Libdem where they can win.
Vote Green where they can win.
Vote SNP where they can win.
Vote Plaid where they can win.
That’s it.
That’s the plan.
Today Labour could choose to make history and upgrade our democracy.

New Prime Minister.
Same old government?
Crisis has been building for years.
And it will continue.
Water, food, heat, energy, wages, inflation, rights, climate, opportunities, the NHS, housing, corruption, democracy…

A new YouGov poll suggests there could be just 13 Tories left after a general election
Together, we could reach net-zero Tories
Because anti-Tory tactical voting works
Spread the word
The Tories count on you not voting.
They count on us being divided.
And they know Tactical Voting works.
Zahawi is still an MP.
Still voting on policy.
You’re still paying his wages.
Until we have a fairer voting system, millionaires like Zahawi will keep getting into power.
"[Sunak] just hasn't got a backbone, he's completely useless"
"I'd recommend everybody in the whole country to look at [ ] when it comes up to election time, because it will give you the best person to vote for to get rid of the Tories"
YES Martin!
Watch our opportunities spiral away in realtime.
👉
The Tories cost us our future.
Brexit = billions
PPE fraud = billions
Lost taxes = billions
HS2 = billions
Oil subsidy = billions
Dodgy contracts = billions
What we could be doing with all that cash.
Lending a vote?
Tactical voting?
Whatever you call it, it’s going to be a big year for stopping your local Tory with your vote

Apathy is over.
1. Vote for the most likely candidate to beat the Tory in your area
2. The 15.5m registered non-voters is the biggest group and they’d control the election if just 1% turned up.
3. There’ll be over 2m new young voters in 2024, they could easily beat the Tories.
When an MP is "fired" from their position..
They're still an MP?!
Still getting paid, sitting at the back, voting on things that effect our lives.
Marina and Jemma from

know what to do about Zahawi though,
👉Tactical vote in Stratford on Avon: Libdem
Under Proportional Representation..
the so-called Blue and Red Walls wouldn’t be a thing.
A small number of voters wouldn’t have the power to draw almost the whole focus of our politicians.
We’d be able to have a narrative that more included the whole country at the next GE.
The Tories think you don’t want human rights.
Apparently over 40k people signed a Conservative Post petition asking for them to be removed by leaving the ECHR.
But our freedoms and safety are what help us thrive.
So we can do better than 40k, can't we?
So great to have you on the team

You.

Simply voting for the most likely candidate to beat the Tories in every seat.
Being pragmatic, not competing against ourselves.. but against them.
Tactical voting at an industrial scale.
It would be a LANDSLIDE.
Labour's growth mission will build a better Britain.
It means higher wages, stronger communities, better public services.
More opportunity, more cash in your pocket, and an end to the cost of living crisis.
That's the difference Labour will make.

Proportional Representation means government becomes more collaborative.
The parties have to work together more closely.
Imagine if all 650 MPs were involved in deciding our future.
Not just half of them.
And imagine if those 650 MPs were as diverse as our country.
