Imagine #ProportionalRepresenttion ……

And there goes any chance I will support labour.
It's a broken system and needs changing.
They are putting selfish gain over the good of the country.

From 'Labour For New Democracy'

It’s hard to sum up our consultations with thousands of @UKLabour & @labourunionsuk members across the UK over 2 years

But here is Labour for a New Democracy’s submission to @labourpolicyforum on why Labour must back PR for general elections."

A while ago I made some suggestions to bring some sense into politics. I still think it would be a vast improvement. https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/30212671/7547451154101538142 First step would be #ProportionalRepresenttion
#DesignABetterGovernment

There’s no point Labour winning unless it promises to dismantle our toxic electoral system.

Have to wonder if he is scared of Rachel Reeves.

The #strikes by #nurses and #AmbulanceWorkers in the #UK are as much to do with frustration at over a decade of chronic #underfunding of #PublicServices as they are to do with #pay. And if #Sunak and #Barclay can't see that then they are more out of touch with reality than I thought.
And this is against a background of the #rich getting #richer and the #poor getting #poorer.
We need a new #government and a new #voting system.

@davidallengreen #ProportionalRepresenttion
I know that you are not mad keen on proportional representation, but could you you, or anyone, recommend some reading matter that might explain the possible types critically?

@OurFlagUK

And #ProportionalRepresenttion please …..

⚖️Write-up of The Bar Council’s Annual Conference, and the overarching need, highlighted throughout the week, to address the need for systemic change.

"Larger political realities must be negotiated with as we aim to build up and safeguard our profession."

Including, but not limited to: a properly-funded legal aid system; a wider programme of civic education; and a dash of #ProportionalRepresenttion

https://www.barcouncil.org.uk/resource/safeguarding-our-profession.html

@ResistUK agree that we need #ProportionalRepresenttion #PR , how to achieve this change however with both #labourparty and #conservativeparty currently not supportive is the biggest challenge.
