In the middle of all these court cases, I'm struck by the clarity and simplicity of this half sentence: "Under even marginally more democratic structural conditions, a demagogue like Trump probably wouldn't stand a chance..."

I really admire #SuzyIzzard but am disappointed that she's chosen to run for #Labour in #BrightonPavilion, Britain's only constituency with a #GreenParty MP where she's likely to spilt the progressive vote and ensure we get a Tory instead

It covers a wide range of areas, including candidate rights, campaign finance, voter accessibility, and potential #digital reforms such as digital poll cards (which we supported).

26 followers · 927 posts · Server meow.socialWhile I am prompted by events in #GreatBritain in a #Labour move towards #ElectoralReform, there is a general point that deserves a wider audience.
Joe Hill said it; "Don’t waste any time in mourning. Organize."
Sending emails, even protest marches, are not quite enough. The crypto-Fascists can still win because they are organized.

I wrote a little piece about #ProportionalRepresentation and #ElectoralReform for West Country Voices, which they published last weekend.

Happy to respond to comments on it.

Did the Liberals promise #ProportionalRepresentation ? I remember they said that would be the last election using #FPTP , but as I recall their desire was to replace it with the #PreferentialBallot .
(I favour preferential voting for municipal elections in Canada.)

The #democracy version of ceding the flag to the #farright imo.
