    #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!

    It’s time for fair votes in English local govt

    In #English local #elections, #voting system means #councils don’t reflect how people actually #voted

    A small vote shift can completely change who is in control

    Right now, millions of local #votes don’t help shape the final result

    This leaves voters feeling powerless, because even when lots of people vote for change, final result can look nothing like the community itself

    reincarnation of the 1940's #US #Fascist party (#AmericaFirst) did, in contrast, win the congressional majorities (Senate: 53/47, House: 220/2015.)

    ballotpedia.org/Election_resul

    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:)

    For sure.

    I feel like we are about to see and live the limitations of #Centrism and the #lesseroftwoweevils approach to '#democracy'.
