    The two sided house of commons is already outdated as much as it is decrepid and in danger of collapsing into the Thames.
    A new building to house parliament is needed with the modern equivalent of a round table for a, single transferable vote, modern democracy.
    A second similar building also for a new elected second house would be sensible at the same time.

  5. Nice to see the old Tory Rory Stewart advocating for a PR system and other progressive policies - theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    "A New Zealand-style electoral system – balancing proportional representation and constituencies – could break the old parties and encourage coalitions around the centre." #proportionalrepresentation #democracy #UkDemocracy

  10. The sheer glee in his voice when John Woodcock talks about locking people up and taking away their rights of free association. This is not someone who should be permitted anywhere near legislation protecting our democracy, never mind writing reports for government about it.

  20. I'm not a football fan and don't much care for the sport but have a renewed lot of respect for Lineker. And feel saddened that the BBC is now plunging to such depths to try to appease the forces that would like to replace it with a Murdoch-style set up.

  27. “Britain is one of just three democracies without a codified constitution. The others are New Zealand, a relatively homogeneous society with a population just over half that of Greater London; and Israel – although in Israel a statute which contravenes basic rights can be declared invalid by the Supreme Court.”

  32. "Not all countries with PR are happy with their democracy

    But *every* democracy that has high & rising satisfaction does use PR

    And there are NO examples of comparable countries renewing trust in democracy, as Labour hopes to, by retaining FPTP-type systems"

    Most of what #Starmer said this AM related to significant reform of #ukDemocracy yet you manage to make it about the cost of private education and rejoining the #singleMarket.....
