Make Votes Matter held the PR Alliance Building Conference in Westminster. Politicians from seven parties came together to form an alliance to introduce PR by 2021. Speakers like Chuka Umunna and Natalie Bennett made impassioned cases for changing to a fair, democratic voting system. It was a great day, and although there are huge challenges ahead, there was a sense of real optimism that the time is now and real commitment to seeing through the reforms we badly need.
