... Our system of #electing #MPs, #FPTP, means national outcomes often bear little relation to how people actually #vote
- In 2024, #Labour’s 34% vote share translated into two-thirds of the seats. But that massive #majority hasn’t lent stability, because #stability comes from popular support.

@ZackPolanski #Burnham has stated he believes in #proportionalrepresentation (PR). If PR were implemented in time for the next #GeneralElection, #ReformUK wouldn't be able to get a #majority in the #Commons on the basis of a #minority of the #votes.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
He had not learned that the majority in a democracy has no more right to tyrannize over a minority than, under a different system, the latter would have to oppress the former; and that, if there is a moral principle at stake, the saying that the voice of the people is the voice of God may be quite as untrue, and do quite as much mischief, as the old theory of the divine right of kings. The distinguishing feature of our American governmental system is the freedom of the individual; it is quite as important to prevent his being oppressed by many men as it is to save him from the tyranny of one.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Thomas Hart Benton, ch. 6 (1886)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/2…

CW: #IndiaPol
Did you even notice the enrichment of #billionaires, #stacking of #constitional_institutions, gutting of #RTI, take over of #press and #news_media, silencing of #political_speech & #censorship of internet? This is what #sabotage of #democracy looks like.
Here's your #ramrajya! But trust me, you won't have a place in it. And it will get much worse. But why are the rest of us being dragged along by a #majority who surrendered their #freedom to satisfy their #bigotry? #India

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Those who believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God may infer that any unusual opinion or peculiar taste is almost a form of impiety, and is to be viewed as a culpable rebellion against the legitimate authority of the herd. This will only be avoided if liberty is as much valued as democracy, and it is realized that a society in which each is the slave of all is only a little better than one in which each is the slave of a despot. There is equality where all are slaves, as well as where all are free. This shows that equality, by itself, is not enough to make a good society.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Lecture (1949-01-16), “The Conflict of Technique and Human Nature,” Reith Lecture, “Authority and the Individual” No. 4, BBC RadioMore about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/837…

The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
