While a fantastic result in Selby, the Uxbridge near-miss might just give Labour pause that the electoral system is NOT their friend.

This website is amazing. Everyone in UK should not just be boosting this here, but sharing on corporate social also.

Prevent Tory on Thursday 4th May with tactical voting right down to the local seat level. My local councillor ward for example is:

Seat 1: Green
Seat 2: Labour
Seat 3: Labour

Really granular tactical advice.

Also don't forget your photo ID!!!

Yes.

There are 3 things we should focus on.

1) Pushing for inside political parties.

2) Getting non-voters, Tory voters & progressive voters alike to use tactical voting to prevent Tory.
tactical.vote/

3) Combined with something like SwapMyVote to make their tactical votes matter even more, wherever they live, no matter how safe the seat. Hack the god awful system.

Almost every fascist Gvt has got in to power because their opponents were too busy arguing amongst themselves to oppose.

2019
30% voted Tory
32% didn't vote
38% were too busy fighting each other to prevent Tory by putting aside some differences and voting tactically

30% Result =massive Tory majority to do anything they liked with nearly all rebellions +constituent pressure on MPs essentially failing.

system needs , but we have to vote tactically meanwhile.

I'm sure there's a typo in the headline.

It says By Keir Starmer
It should say
Including Keir Starmer.

Labour might scrape the next election, and it's hard to see how the Tories can recover, but they will

Personally I hope Labour can't get an outright majority without partnership, because this current crop have run to the right chasing former UKIP voters and big business and have forgotten what the party originally stood for.

Getting an unfettered Starmer instead of a Tory in No.10 is just prolonging this country's death sentence.

We need change.

As you detect, I am not that bothered about - because I do not beleive it is a practically achievable objective. Like calory-free cheese it would be lovely, but I am too pragmatic to use time on attempting to produce it.

There is a proposal for and replacement of the - if manage to get those done it would be significant - and they are hard enough.

Well then there is no coalition, has a reason to demand an early second election & get that majority which he either will (most likely) or lose to the Tories.

You can squint to look for scenarios that suit you - but I really think there is no way to get except by convincing and I see no evidence this is happening

Incidentally those thinking coalition results in more progressive change than an overall majority aren't reviewing evidence from the Coalition - which is rather the opposite. In many areas a majority will empower progressive change more effectively - I cannot see doing any better than last time on unless at cabinet level are on the same side

It would be great to be rid of - I just can't see the route

The solution to unrepresentative rule isn’t simply to potentially substitute one set of people who support governance by minority for another. We need and to resolve the sickness in our democracy. What we have is outdated and unfit for the 21st century and the diversity that is now standard in society.

Agreed!

is absolute garbage. It has never once in decades let me vote for a MP I wanted. I have only ever voted to attempt to prevent an MP I know to be terrible (who usually gets elected anyway).

The current situation in the . essential. It is quite simply not democracy for 30% of electorate to hold all power in to infinity.

Situ also deliberately worsened by corrupt boundary redraw (& new requirements that allows & excludes young/ minority ppl ID effectively) by ruling Conservative Gvt.

While looking at awful fig below you need to remember it maybe 5x worse as 80% of vote tactically to prevent Tory
