This election campaign has seen repeated promises of “change” and a “new politics” from almost all politicians. But unless we make clear we are serious about the need for reform, the politicians will assume they can get back to the same old politics.

Millions of peoples’ votes counted for nothing this year due to first-past-the-post – this must be the last election under our broken system.

A large coalition of organisations are joining together under the banner of Take Parliament Back to call for change, and are running rallies across the country this Saturday.

 
Gather in Millennium Square outside the front of Leeds Civic Hall at 12pm. Wear purple – the traditional colour of campaigns for the suffrage who throughout the years have struggled to deepen democracy.
