RT Lib Dems for Electoral Reform 🔶️ #FBPPR
We need a better politics where parties collaborate to resolve long-term issues.
If one party can get a large majority on a minority of the votes, then policies on housing, education, climate etc won't reflect the wishes of most voters.

And we wonder why so many voters are disillusioned!
In the UK it took over 300,000 votes to elect a Liberal Democrat, but 51,000 or 38,000 for a Labour or Conservative MP.

Embarrassing to hear @UKLabour keep repeating that there are only two parties in a general election
Hhiding behind the system because they’re not enthusing voters
This is anti-democratic and unfair
We should have the right to vote for who *we* choose

When you hear Starmer break his word on radical pledges remember:
He isn’t thinking about your vote
He’s thinking about a few thousand swing voters in marginal seats
They hold the power under first-part-the-post
They are holding us all to ransom

@GeorgeMonbiot Morning George. I admire your courage in saying this. So depressing that we are forced to choose between this and the corrupt and incompetent Tories to govern our country

Compare with e.g. Ireland where "it actually feels like my vote makes a difference":
