Hiya 👋love the question, we have a whole host of resources on our site for how you can get involved in elections & support candidates - & we are putting out new comms on how to help!
They’ll probably need to be asked more than once (5-7x), so don’t be put off by first refusal!
How do we strengthen our democracy? Expand representation.
Fairer representation builds trust & delivers stronger outcomes - but we need the data to get there.
Transparency drives accountability & real change.
🙏 to Kirsteen Sullivan MP for backing the call to activate Section 106
It’s vital!
What does good look like for helping people in our democracy?
We know sustainable representation depends on the right infrastructure and support!
That's why we are proposing 5 amendments to the new Representation of the People Bill…

Sunderland uni grad here who took Politics lectures with Simon Henig… at the end of the 3 years I told him politics isn’t for working class women like me but I am glad I went to @electheruk.bsky.social events and they changed my mind and the Green Party gave me a political home!
SWBG's 2026 Survey is live!
We're researching women's finances and care responsibilities. Plus, we want to hear women’s priorities on devolved policy and the Scottish budget.

It's landed! A new bill to help change the system...
It’s really encouraging to see the Representation of the People Bill taking meaningful steps to widen access to our democratic system.
Expanding participation matters.
But access is only one part of the story 👇

Parliaments with higher levels of women are trusted more by their citizens.

👉Not in 1 election cycle.
👉Across 107 countries, three decades of data & nearly half a million responses!

What can be done about online harm? A lot.
MPs across Parliament face harassment, threats, & coordinated pile-ons online.
This is not just a personal safety issue. It’s a democratic one.

Designing democratic processes around those with the least flexibility improves access for everyone.
That is not ideology - it is how systems work.
Calling this ‘ridiculous’ misunderstands equality: it is about impact, not intent, and it goes to the heart of democratic participation.
