"Our broken voting system leaves millions without representation. Yet the Representation of the People Bill has no plan to change it.

… power can now be won on a smaller share of the vote than ever in our history. Our elections, described by the Economist as creating “slot-machine politics” no longer reflect public opinion and are leaving more people than ever disenfranchised."

🚨 #FirstPastThePost can no longer deliver real mandates -only chaos. 🤬 60% of Brits want it scrapped!

Yet the #RepresentationofthePeopleBill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented! 😤

Tell @Keir_Starmer to change this.

🚨Our #democracy shouldn’t be a gamble! 😤

#FirstPastThePost fails 70% of voters! 🤬 We urgently need to scrap it. I’ve asked my MP to attend a crucial briefing on how to do just that.

The turmoil on the #BC right is not random. It is what happens when #FirstPastThePost forces entire movements into one party and punishes voters for choice.
#ProportionalRepresentation would let parties stand on their own instead of tearing each other apart.

The Optics Ain't Good

In 2016, the Liberal Party of Canada tried to change Canada's FPTP electoral system toward PR.

The commission found a lot of opposition. Maybe the Liberals could have handled this issue better, but such changes are difficult to make.

If we are to make changes, we should make BIG changes, not FPTP to PR.

“When will Labour have the guts to fix it?”

Never.

Because while FPTP means they can spend years out of power, they like the other side of the coin, by which they can spend years in total power. Just like the Tories.

And I doubt Fartage will scare them into PR.
