CW: UK politics: Labour MPs pressing for electoral reform
If Burnham does this _one_ thing and gets electoral reform on the way, I will forgive him for every other policies he may come up with (however stupid they may be).
First Past The Post forever prevents sensible governments and sound policy making in Britain. It's exclusionary by design. Adopting some form of proportional representation is what the country needs.
Hat tip to the nearly 100 Labour MPs who push for immediate reform. We hope they stick to their guns and grow in numbers, and that Burnham is willing to take the risk.
PR is also the only way to ensure that the Faragistes don't get a chance to run and ruin the country.
Labour have forever hoped to use FPTP for their own occasional time of one-party rule. Those days are over, comrades, and they won't come back. Let coalition politics become native to the UK system!

Heh. So, after all the #RedScare crappo coming from #MSM about #DemocraticSocialists , you know I had to go to the official party platform for 2026.
"Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in all elections, and abolish the Senate."
I don't have a problem with a more #ParliamentaryGovernment and more parties! Bring it on!!!

Heh. Even #USAToday is talking about the #DSA! Caution - Contains #RedScare Propaganda!
#DemocraticSocialists of America propose radical overhaul of US govt
The Democratic Socialists of America want to fight for working-class Americans by offering #FreeHealthcare and abolishing the U.S. Senate [sic]. What else does their #WorkersDeserveMore platform say?

Updated Aug. 2, 2026,Excerpt: "Although not all self-described #DemocraticSocialists are in the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA is an increasingly influential player on the left. Members include New York Rep. #AlexandriaOcasioCortez, New York City Mayor #ZohranMamdani and Michigan Rep. #RashidaTlaib, all Democrats. Three Democratic nominees for U.S. House of Representative seats – #DarializaAvilaChevalier and #ClaireValdez in New York and #MelatKiros in Colorado – also belong to the group, as do a growing list of state and local officials.
"A third of #Democrats identify as democratic socialists, according to a July 30 CNN poll, but it's possible that quite a few of those are not familiar with some of the DSA's more unusual suggestions for overhauling the U.S. government. A July 28 Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that 47% of Americans say they don't understand democratic socialist policies.
"While President Donald Trump and his GOP allies slam democratic socialists as
'#communists,' the Democratic Socialists of America is defining its own brand in the new platform."The 120,000-member organization's policy roadmap has three sections:
- Thriving Working-Class Communities
- Working-Class Foreign Policy
- Working-Class Democracy "Read more [or not. I'll be posting the official DSA platform soon...]:
