  1. 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.

  2. @wprigby @kazz

    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

  3. GET PR DONE! ⭕️⚫️🟣🟢🔴🟠 @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.”

    #GetPRDone so that ‘MILLIONS of VOTERS’ like Steve Bray no longer need to ‘HOLD THEIR NOSE’ and use #TacticalVoting for the least 💩 option when casting ‘OUR VOTES’

    #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:

  7. But to correct the fact check none of these governments were actually elected on a majority of votes.

    They all won faux majorities on a minority of votes, gifted by the disproportionate results of our archaic #FPTP voting system.

  8. Great entertaining article describing how UK politics broke completely in 2019. There’s two ways to move on. #Tyranny or #ElectoralReform. Let’s make sure it’s the latter. #GetPRDone

  9. #FPTP politics have brought us to this.

    Firstly it was the 'Brexit at all costs' Tories & now @Keir_Starmer's 'bend over backwards so as not to offend socially conservative & authoritarian voters' Labour Party.

    The calculation is the rest of us will just fall inline

  10. If you are a @LabourLordsUK what exactly are you afraid of if you break a 3-line whip?

  11. While distracted but not forgetting Junior Doctors started their 3 day strike today. Not only do we and they need fair pay but we also need fair voting.

    @Fifechess And Iceland uses Proportional Representation

    The UK doesn't *

    Result : We've been stuck with Tory governments destroying the country

    #GetPRDone

    * Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the London Mayor and the old MEP elections all use some form of PR

  19. @Andrew_F_Smith good to see you here! Quite a lot of the #FBPR #GetPRDone #MVM crowd are around. Finding people is not as easy as on twitter due to the decentralised nature of Mastodon. I'll boost your post to get it seen by some of them

  20. Bath & N.E. Somerset Council has voted overwhelmingly for a motion calling for the use of #ProportionalRepresentation in Westminster elections. Who is laughing now, #posh boy?

    #MakeVotesMatter #GetPRDone

  21. @Andy_European

    With you. Single Transferable Vote is a proportional representation system that gives everyone a strong vote, not just a fair vote.

    When we #GetPRDone we need to keep the constituency link AND abolish safe seats. Ranked voting let's us decide who will be in government, who we prefer in opposition and lets us cast a party we hate into outer darkness.

  22. Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm just another Twitter refugee.

    I'm hoping to connect to other people who want to #GetPRDone in the UK.

    Away from politics I'm fascinated by history, sometimes write #hiaku and support Harlequins, Sale Sharks - oh and, err, Arsenal.

  23. @RichardJMurphy one day our parliament will reflect %s like these. A government needing an idea backed by opposition parties to get through. #GetPRDone

  24. @baob which means everyone else's vote is worthless and wasted #GetPRdone

  25. Heard elsewhere:

    "The swing voters in marginal seats _ARE_ the electorate under FPTP!"

    How true. We need to #GetPrDone
