https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/21/greens-select-nurse-chris-kennedy-makerfield-byelection-candidate. I wish Chris Kennedy well. It would be a shame if @thegreenparty pulled its punches in #Makerfield because of fear of being accused of aiding & abetting #Reform by #Labour & the #media, @ZackPolanski. Labour tried that in Gorton & Denton, & finished third. Is Andy #Burnham, supposedly committed to introducing #PR, REALLY going to take advantage of the #FPTP system to make that case, & frighten #progressive #voters into voting for him?

#Scottish Labour MPs call to review #Westminster #election system
Proposal would commit #UK Government to review first-past-the-post ( #FPTP ) system & make recommendations within a year on reforms
The amendment to the Representation of the People Bill says experts & public should have their say on creating system which is “fair, representative, & capable of sustaining public confidence in democratic outcomes”

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/20/burnham-to-back-shabana-mahmoods-immigration-changes-allies-say. So, #Burnham wants to pursue the same failed #strategy that got #Labour nowhere in the Gorton & Denton by-election, does he? When will the #LabourParty learn? Trimming further & further to the #Right in a pathetic attempt to appeal to #ReformUK #voters doesn't work! All it succeeds in doing is alienating the #Left, who will now vote for @thegreenparty, & SHOULD do! Labour can't rely on #progressives voting for them under #FPTP to keep #Reform out.

@gwynnion You can have faith in the (election) system as long as it’s not based on #FPTP voting system. That one is IMO always one step away from not being a democracy at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-past-the-post_voting (and is barely a mimic (see D&D mimics) of a democracy in the first place)

Unite Majority; Build a Better #Britain
Our outdated political system betrays us
The majority are encouraged to fight each other, splitting votes, clearing a path for #extremists to win with little public backing
Once they win, they have unchecked power to attack & dismantle democratic institutions & values we hold dear
It’s a better Britain. A country that stands for unity, against #hatred & #division

#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!

@2legged @HarriettMB That is a real hypothetical. If #Burnham is selected as #Labour #candidate, & if he's elected as an MP, & if he is then elected as #LabourParty #leader, he will then face #opposition from those Labour MPs who want to keep on taking advantage of the #FPTP system, even though it might well guarantee our next #Government is formed by #ReformUK!

@ReggieHere At this stage, even the briefcase centrists should be able to see that under #FPTP, Labour will come out of the next general election as a 5–50 seat rump facing a ReformUK govt.
The alternative is PR. No ReformUK govt, and Labour still a viable force with ~100 seats.

Good explainer about why the United Kingdom should probably drop their existing way of electing governments and switch to a fairer system; proportional representation.
