🚨Dear @andyburnham: it’s time to scrap #FirstPastThePost!
Our voting system only breeds instability & chaos, & poisons our political culture. We know you agree.
Now is the time to fix our #democracy! 👇 https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/andy-burnham-make-fair-votes-happen

#AndyBurnham does NOT support #ProportionalRepresentation #PR. 😡
Burnham supports #SupplementaryVote, also known as #AlternativeVote #AV, which is NOT a proportional system
And he will NOT scrap the current #FirstPastThePost #FPTP before the next general election #GE2029. So #ReformUK could win a huge overall majority on 30% of votes.
That makes a vote for #Burnham pointiess. He's a #Blairite who won't even introduce fair votes. 😡
There's no point to Burnham. Reject him, #Makerfield!

reincarnation of the 1940's #US #Fascist party (#AmericaFirst) did, in contrast, win the congressional majorities (Senate: 53/47, House: 220/2015.)
https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2024:_U.S._Congress
This was enabled by a dualistic, unfairer #ElectoralSystem, the #US' #WinnerTakeAll system.
In contrast to a variant of the puralistic, fairer system of #ProportionalRepresentation.Here is a comparison to the US system of #WinnerTakeAll (or #FirstPastThePost in the #UK:)

If you watch to the end there is hope.
And a lot of the options lead to less vitriolic campaigns.

#NDP #StrategicVoting has the power to win this electionIdeally there should be a way to demand recompense
But #FirstPastThePost is the least changeable system of electoral government running 😫
