  2. @ChrisMayLA6 Sadly, political debate in Britain is stuck on the broad category of #ProportionalRepresentation (PR). This mostly means #dHondt or the #AdditionalMemberSystem (#AMS).

    #SingleTransferableVote (STV) is used in Scottish local elections, and in Northern Ireland. #STV is vastly better PR, 'cos it facilitates new entrants, removes tactical voting, and disempowers parties. Ideal for our times, and invented by a Brit: Thomas Hare.

    And STV has been used for the House of Commons.

  3. Fun fact about the '3 landslide victories' that Margaret Thatcher got - in all 3, the Tories never even got a majority of votes:

    •1979: 43.9% of votes but 53.4% of seats
    •1983: 42.4% of votes but 61.1% of seats
    •1987: 42.2% of votes but 58% of seats

    We can't change the past but can change the future. The UK needs PR voting now!

  7. Labour are the real conservatives, says Keir Starmer as he promises to protect our way of life

    Warning: Propaganda alert

    Keir Starmer will pitch Labour as the real party of conservative values

    “And look – if that’s sounds conservative, then let me tell you: I don’t care."
