Time to fight back

These are dangerous times.

Democracy is under attack from the authoritarian right. We’ve seen the rise of authoritarian governments around the world, most notably in the United States of America.

And just a few weeks ago, we saw the biggest ever far-right rally in London, egged on by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.

That’s why we're trying to raise £35,000 in 5 weeks to power the big FIGHT BACK.

Please support us by backing our Crowdfunder today.

Change the voting system

The evidence keeps stacking up that our voting system is completely broken.

Polls show that a party could win a parliamentary majority on less than 30% of the vote.
