Electoral Reform - Million Postcard Challenge

In 2005, Labour got a massive majority in the House of Commons, even though six out of ten people voted against them.
52% of voters did not elect anyone. More eligible people didn't vote at all in 2001 and 2005 than elected the Government.
Labour promised a referendum on how we elect MPs in 1997.
Isn't it time we had a say?

Over the next few months Unlock Democracy, with the help of the Electoral Reform Society and Make Votes Count will be distributing one million postcards across the country calling for the Prime Minister to give voters real choice and real fairness in UK elections. To hit the target, we will need your help.

Could you spend an afternoon delivering just 200 postcards around your local area? If you can, please email Samuel Tarry, including your name, address and telephone number, and you will be sent a batch.

You can also sign the petition online.
