just so you know, i'll be tooting relentlessly about #TacticalVoting

Hope that's ok, hope that's why you followed me :)

It's the simplest way to win the next election.

No one can stop you doing it.

Nobody has to negotiate anything.

Are you with me? 🙌

And then we switch to relentlessly telling the next government what we came for: #ProportionalRepresentation

That's it. That's the plan.

@joshfwd Have to wonder what you want the Tories replaced with. Agree they need to go but there is no major party with very different policies and views to replace them. We’re stuck between a rock anc a hard place.

@RevolutionBlues @joshfwd perhaps PR will create the environment for a new party to be born, that then stands a real chance of being elected?

@F1fty @RevolutionBlues @joshfwd have labour actually shown any interest in pr though? It would reduce their power and importance forever so why would a labour govt or labour led coalition ever agree to bring it in?

@sarky @RevolutionBlues @joshfwd good point, hadn’t looked at it like that. Turkeys voting for Christmas. If only political parties were not involved in deciding the electoral system eh.

@F1fty @sarky @RevolutionBlues huge support across Labour for PR, all the way up to half of the shadow cabinet.

It’s our job to keep telling them we want it. That’s what this is all about.

I have a Twitter thread listing all the support. https://twitter.com/joshfwd/status/1561702849985257472

@joshfwd @F1fty @sarky Who in the shadow cabinet is for PR?

@RevolutionBlues @F1fty @sarky why would it matter to you, when you think they’re all the same

@joshfwd @F1fty @sarky
I don’t think all parties are the same. That is ludicrous. I said their views are the same. As we have seen re immigration, re nurses pay, etc.

@RevolutionBlues @F1fty @sarky I mean, still not true. Anyway, I’ll leave it there. Good luck to you.
