  1. CW: #UKpolitics

    Hate politics ends in betrayal.

    Untrustworthy politicians
    • figure out what winds you up.
    • pretend to be on your side
    • pretend that a group is against you.
    • wind you up many times
    • distract you enough to avoid admitting how little they actually do for you.
    • get your vote
    • bye bye
    • get replaced by another untrustworthy politician

    Stand up for what matters to you.

    Its interesting; would a term in power then soften the resistance to #proprotionalrepresentation - I'd like to think so, but I fear not; they'd want another FPTP majority...

  6. @RichardJMurphy on renewing #democracy via #proprotionalrepresentation

    'If a wider diversity of views was encouraged within our political system then I think we would have sense prevail, because the number of votes extremists could win would be substantially reduced overall & the more mainstream parties (whoever they might then be) would be free to ignore and disown them...

    A proper democracy might work better than the nasty mess we have got. We should give it a try'!

  11. @MartinFarrent @weit_im_westen Indeed, that's why many who want to change the political landscape favour #proprotionalrepresentation... but the problem is firstly the #LibDems had their chance with the PR referendum & made a has of it; secondly while in opposition parties often play with a policy of PR, but as an election approaches & they see the prospect of power under FPTP they lose interest (perhaps cynically?)
