RT by @catherinemep: A shocking indictment of the first-past the-post (#FPTP) voting system where 44% of votes cast can lead to over 73% of the MPs in Parliament❗️
56% of the vote going to other parties leads to under 27% of MPs❗️

Oddly I don't welcome the huge swing to Labour in the UK by-elections, I think at a general election it would not be good for the country.
I'm old enough to remember Tony Blair. Starmer is Blair sans charisma, and I struggle to see his Labour as anything but an imitation of the Conservatives. Plus he panders to TERFs.
If Starmer becomes PM I want him to worry about his electorate, and have a modest majority. Otherwise like all the others he'll get to thinking he owns it.
The usual argument, but our 2 party unrepresentative FPTP system is producing a grim polity where we shift further and further to the right. I can no longer support that. Nothing will fundamentally progress without PR, and Starmer has made it clear that will not happen under his leadership. #getPRdone #ukpolitics

Re @MrSnugly @CunninghamFoxy @THamletJosh @SthNorfolkGreen Yes and if Labour had won with a third of the votes, that would be failure too? This is what FPTP does, and voting would be different if we didn't have it. Last time I was elected, fortunately it was proportional representation. Still got elected. #GetPRDone

The statement that #Starmer opposes a fair proportional voting system for Westminster elections is from April.
Has anyone heard of anything of a correction?
If not, Starmer remains intent on flying in the face of public & party opinion.

“The last time we had a break it took us 13 years to get in.” If Labour reforms the voting system, “there’ll never be a Conservative government again.”

#LiarJohnson
The majority of the U.K. public know that Boris Johnson is “untrustworthy “ or a “liar” But our First-Past-The-Post (#FPTP) Voting System means that PM’s like Johnson can get elected on a minority of votes:
