I awoke on the morning after the 2019 GE in slightly stunned disbelief that the Tories had won by a landslide. How could so many people have been conned by their dishonesty? Then I discovered that the Tories only increased their vote share by 1.5% when compared to 2017. 1/3
That doesn't justify an 80 seat majority. Clearly something is wrong with our democracy. That something is FPTP - an outdated Electoral System that leads to Govts being formed on a minority of the vote. FPTP ignores millions of votes and needs to go. PR is it's replacement. 2/3
PR is a fairer Electoral System that recognises everyone's vote & ensures that Parliament reflects how they voted. No more minority Govts, safe seats or confrontational 2 party politics. Instead we'll have collaborative politics that acts for the good of the Country not the Party
Electoral Reform and the adoption of PR is essential to break the damaging & dysfunctional 2 Party system we currently have. If you want to know more about PR go to @electoralreform
