Joe Sousek from Makes Votes Matter Wanstead posted a Christmas card to MP John Cryer asking him to support a change to the voting system in favour of proportional representation - Credit: Kathrine Santos Campaigners in Wanstead took to the streets to demand a change to the voting system so that every vote counts. On Saturday, December 12 Wanstead Make Votes Matter supporters joined a nationwide day of action and came together to send Christmas cards to their MP demanding equal votes. Members of the group, part of the UK cross-party movement advocating to change the First Past The Post voting system to Proportional Representation, posted their Christmas cards one year since the 2019 general election where they say seven out of 10 votes cast by the UK population didn’t matter.
