ABOUT GET PR DONE!

GET PR DONE! is a cross party/no party campaigning group that is working to bring in a proportional representation voting system in the UK.

“We set up the GET PR DONE! project for three reasons:
1) the current voting system is fundamentally undemocratic; it leads to minority rule;
2) the best alternative is proportional representation (PR) voting. With PR, every vote counts;
3) a FIRST STEP on the road to PR is an energetic cross party/ no party campaign to win Labour Party support.”
