It’s time for fair votes in English local govt

In #English local #elections, #voting system means #councils don’t reflect how people actually #voted

A small vote shift can completely change who is in control

Right now, millions of local #votes don’t help shape the final result

This leaves voters feeling powerless, because even when lots of people vote for change, final result can look nothing like the community itself

#DemocracyNow #ProportionalRepresentation

In the end I #voted. Despite no party or independent candidate caring about the things I care most deeply about.

#Farage was a friend of #Trump. Apparently he is distancing himself from him. But maybe that's just more political disingenuousness.

So I voted for #PlaidCymru, because that's the other popular party in #Wales, trying to take votes away from #ReformUK

It's so hard to tell who people really are, especially if you're #ActuallyAutistic. *sigh*

#politics #FuckMyLife

#voted

(I’ll admit that I’m worried about the outcomes + effects of this election cycle, but… gotta do my bit, and so should you. However intolerable you may find the various parties, I guarantee apathy will be even worse. Go vote!)

#Americans still believe that
because they #democratically #voted
to put that pervert piece of shit #Trump
and the dickheads who support him
in power
they can also vote to take power away from him

it doesn't work like that

to 'democratically vote' first you need a Democratic Government (that no longer exists)
respects to the 'right to vote' (that is not respected)
ensures for honest elections
(which are not assured)
so
the 'democratic 'I vote you out''
is not really a 'thing' in Trumplandia
