Sad to see our only Green Party MP Caroline Lucas announce today that she is to stand down as MP for Brighton Pavilion at the next GE, #C4News but perhaps reform of the UK's exclusive First Past The Post electoral system is closer now.
After all the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak owes his own occupancy of No.10 to the Second Past The Post electoral system.

Those who criticise HMG for its caveman reliance on antiquated electoral systems like First Past The Post have gotten it so wrong.
Riski Sunak is the first world leader to gain power using the Nastiz' modern innovation of Second Past The Post elections.

Not hearing much of #EnvironmentAgency workers on #strike, but they are. 25% real term pay loss in the last ten years and, as in all public service, covering two or three times the work because of staff cuts. No wonder we’ve rampant pollution and no enforcement. #EnoughIsEnough #GTTO #NeverAgain #PRnow

@CentralBylines @faithfulpundit Or we could have national PR and get rid of constituency MPs. Most of the issues I'd like to raise with my MP are a result of govt policy and he's on the govt payroll so he just repeats the latest govt spin. We'd be better with an improved ombudsman service to take on queries/complaints. #PR #prnow
After Starmer’s speech today, full of empty rhetoric to do things that are not within a government’s power, I am still to hear anything that would convince me to support #Labour. How can a lawyer appear so ignorant of what is within the law?
First priority has to be #ProportionalRepresentation to stand a chance of reform and legal and constitutional literacy. Tell Starmer #EnoughIsEnough #PRNow

@centralbylines We know the answer. We don't have access to the levers of power, due to our outdated, corrupt and compromised political 'system'. So ergo the kleptocrats have free rein to milk the system; aided and abetted by thier friends in that rotten house in Westminster. #ToriesOut #PRNow #FBPE

I firmly believe that the first step to rejoining is getting the Tories out and that means tactical voting for whichever progressive party has the best chance of defeating the Conservative candidate in the voters constituency. I also believe that the second step will be the UK adopting a more progressive voting system.
