And so in #WECA the lurch to the right continues despite much of the area being #progressive and left.
First place: #Labour. Second place: #ReformUK Ltd.
#FPTP needs to go. #ElectoralReformNow or yesterday is desperately needed, otherwise we'll keep getting minority lunatics trashing the country, councils and people against the will of the majority!

#ukelections2025 - A lean year ?
It looks as if there may be many less elections than usual in the #uk this year because many local elections may be postponed by a year as a result of the proposed reorganisation of local government. This would mean that there would be less of a check than usual on the reliability of #opinionpolls . This could fuel highly questionable claims as to actual voting intentions. A problem for established political parties - among them #Laษour ?
