As an IT Consultant, I chose to volunteer with Make Votes Matter because I believe in the transformative power of technology to support meaningful causes. Volunteering with Make Votes Matter has not only allowed me to apply my technical skills to a cause I deeply care about, but also to witness firsthand the impact of a dedicated team working towards a fairer, more representative democracy. It’s incredibly rewarding to contribute to a movement that strives to make every vote count and to collaborate with passionate individuals who share this vision.

I strongly believe that one of the main reasons why so many people feel so disengaged with politics — that it just doesn’t work for them and their vote makes no difference — is the way we that we have to vote.

First past the post maintains polarised confrontational politics where parties can hold all the power on a minority of the votes. So people are right: if you voted for someone else your votes counts for nothing. A proportional voting system would ensure that every vote counts towards shaping government policy, and that people not parties are the winners.

I decided to volunteer with Make Votes Matter as I was looking for a way to meet like minded people and help change our political landscape and system to one that is fairer and truly representative.

Volunteering has allowed me to learn new skills, be creative and the flexibility means I can volunteer around my other commitments. I have really enjoyed volunteering and would encourage you to get involved.
