  1. Westminster is in free fall and Northern Ireland keeps paying the price. Another leader won’t fix a broken system - we need PR, real accountability and politics that puts people first. Join us. 💚 greenpartyni.org/join #GreenPartyNI #ProportionalRepresentation #HopeIsHere

  2. This week I have learned that Malta and Ireland are both using the Single Transferable Vote method in national elections. I knew that e.g. Northern Ireland are doing it, but I was only aware of Australia doing it at the sovereign level.

  3. #US politics in a nutshell.

    If #Americans want to prevent another #Trump, stop accepting the status quo and open your eyes to the two parties who hold control.

    They switch sides when it suits them:
    °Abolishment of #slavery

    They both support and fund #Genocide
    °#Isreal

    Pretending to be anti empire:
    °Illegal annexation of #Hawaii

    They claimed to support #democracy
    °Funded the #Pinochet dictatorship

    Demand change:
    °Multi party #coalitions
    °#ProportionalRepresentation
    °End political funding

    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:)
