"This simple, local idea, which enhances our trust in each other, could transform our political system"

George Monbiot - The Guardian

We need bold new leadership for the challenges ahead but our failing voting system favours the status quo.

South Devon (Totnes) constituency has been a safe Conservative seat for the last 100 years, often won on a lot less than 50% of the vote. MPs have felt able to ignore voter demands for climate & nature action. Until we change our out-of-date voting system, we need a new approach.

The Primary helps us choose a unity candidate for the next general election.

Safe seats breed complacency, allowing MPs to ignore the wishes of voters.

The majority of voters here want change but opposition is fragmented.

Let's rally behind a single challenger candidate whose values the majority of us share.

The Primary will shake up the tired ‘Safe Seat’ status quo

This is a new, fairer approach that will give people in South Devon a real choice. And that can only be good for democracy.
