Finally, Tories are coming around to the idea of a proper political system with proportional results. It's embarrassing how far behind the UK is on this.
Needs to be ranked choice, too, though. ππ» 1οΈβ£2οΈβ£3οΈβ£ π³οΈ

This should be a warning to those who support keeping the current system.
Those in power love it because it gives them artificially large majorities, disproportionate to their actual level of electoral support.

RT @PropVoting: @GreenJJNews @GreenJennyJones What do you call an electoral system that allows this legislation to be passed, even though the MPs voting against it represent more people? π€π²

Only in a country with a failed political system can someone with 7years experience get to lead the #uk. If you entered any other profession in 2015 would u be CEO 7 years later? We need electoral change #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern #makevotesmatter

Only two countries in Europe use the outdated First Past the Post system of voting for their general elections. One is Belarus - a dictatorship. Weβre living in the other. #MakeVotesMatter

Parliament is now in the Xmas recess until Jan 9th.
Of the 132 divisions held in this session, 69 would have changed result if seats matched votes.
That is, ~52% of the time, opposition MPs represented MORE people than the Gov't. But the Gov't won anyway π€·ββοΈ

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.

βOn the stall and writing postcards to MPs at the Green Fair Oxford Town Hall. Many thank to our team, Kevin, Virginia, Caroline, Cherry, Pete, Ros, Max and Sue. Lots of good conversations, sign ups, postcards to MPs posted, and interest in being active. Good work by all."
Every vote should count equally. It's time to put Proportional Representation in party manifestos!
I've just chipped in to @MakeVotesMatter to be part of making it happen. Check out the campaign:

We are facing some tough years ahead and as things stand the Tories will be dealt a serious blow at the next General Elections no matter what. If disenfranchised Tory voters on the right defect to Reform that blow will be even bigger: both Reform and Tories will get a sizeable vote share, but no or hardly any seats. I can only hope that Labour will use their new gained power wisely at that point and reform the electoral system once and for all to PR.

Millions in the UK are represented by MPs they didn't vote for.
In the constituency of W Aberdeenshire & K_dine the winning party was Conservatives with a vote share of only 43% on a turnout of 73%.
