βHow does the British state leave so many people in the wilderness for so long? The answer is simple but also profound.β
@AndyBurnhamGM makes the case that under our First Past the Post system we cannot hold power to account - at the 2023 #Labour4PR AGM
RT @Labour4PR
Starmer's right that Westminster is the source of Britainβs problems, but a proportional electoral system must be part of Labourβs solutions.
Otherwise the reforms of the next Labour government will be another sticking plaster.

With democratic renewal officially a top @UKLabour priority, and with Conference overwhelmingly behind Proportional Representation, the stage is set for the next phase of the campaign.

The public is ahead of the politicians on this one.
They can see our politics isn't working - and that Proportional Representation for general elections is in the public interest.
People just want a want a fair voting system. Itβs time.

It's great news @Keir_Starmer@twitter.com will consult on Labour's reform plans.
#Labour4PR has already done this for you:
π’ Labour conference called for PR in the next manifesto
πΉ 60% of local Labour parties have pro-PR policy
π majority of affiliated unions want electoral reform

It's good to see Labour are committed to HOL reform but the idea that the elected second chamber could be made up of only 200 members seems a bit fanciful: how would such a chamber operate in an efficient way, carrying out the same jobs as the current HOL does?
Also, PR reform should happen at the same time as HOL reform. Let's bring British democracy into the 21st century.
#politics #constitutionalreform #Labour #Labour4PR
A great article on LabourList by Theo Stone putting forward a strong case for Labour to adopt PR for Westminster elections, especially as Labour now seems committed more than ever to establishing a democratically elected upper chamber to replace the House of Lords.

Hugely welcome that constitutional reform is a priority for @UKLabour@twitter.comπ₯
An unelected house has no place in a modern democracy ποΈ

RT @getprdone: At #Lab22 will the @UKLabour leadership
finally accept that #PR is needed and #FPTP needs to be consigned to history?
Otherwise we'll see Labour elected, maybe once or twice twice, then it'll be back to business as usual.

Finally, Labourβs unions are seeing sense on #Labour4PR and stopping propping up FPTP which consistently delivers Tory govβts.
Good news for democracy. Bad news for right-wing egomaniacs, who I recommend now become an MC instead.
