Will you help us fix Westminster’s broken system?

The fact is, our democracy is broken - with unelected Lords shaping laws, and unfair voting systems letting us down. We urgently need to fix it, but it will take more people chipping in to win change.

Will you join the Electoral Reform Society to help repair our democracy?
