Gerrymandering or not, however you slice it, this does not change my view that drawing districts ought to be a process left to independent commissions based on as transparent and nonpartisan a methodology as possible. The United Kingdom knows better than to have politicians pick voters, as does even Brazil.

Locale elections expose an election system run by oligarchs interests for tax cuts, protecting a programme of ecocide and demanding anti-ethical regulations in return to finance those like Trump and Farage etc. who project and gaslight racist, chauvinist, gender and ableist tropes using immigrants to increase their violent base. Truth is, just like Biden, Starmer is a Trojan horse to give the Farage cult the next general election. With Maga, Reform and possibly the AfD Earth will be truly fucked until there is a world revolution to end the corruption and bribery of opportunist politicians. The swamp sustains life, Empire will end it! Protest, Strike, #BDS, Sabotage and Resist oligarchs finance of their fascist cults, purges and genocides! #PoliticalReform #ElectionReform #FascistDeathCults #OligarchsAreScum #WarOnFascists #WarOnNeoNazis
