Colin Bstard Naybe a House of Commons, elected by PR in multimember constituencies each of which would fall within an English region with similar devolved powers to Wales. England and Wales would elect โ representativesโ to sit in regional parliaments and โsenatorsโ to sit in 2nd chamber.
Conservatives Instead of a dog whistle aimed at the poor and vulnerable, why not do something positive about the health of the nation by giving the #NHS the resources it needs to cut waiting lists?

Chris Philp MP What if the action of the โinnocentโ person is clearly intended to be provocative and might bring them, and others, to harm?
Claire L Shortt I think the best we can do is reduce their Majority.
The good thing is, I think the Electorate are smarter than the political class.
But my suggestions still stand.

Jo Caulfield Or, because of the FPTP voting system, vote for the best placed candidate /party to get the Tories out. #GTTO
Also if you want to vote for a candidate you actually support, in future elections, vote for candidates that supports Proportional Representation.

James O'Brien Kassandra๐๐๐ธ๐ no DMs There is no way we can come together until we all have an equal voice. How can people respect each other when we know the system means that most of us donโt matter and those that do matter are happy with the advantage they have? Meaningful votes can bring us closer.
#GetPRDone
Keir Starmer Carlโs Lexicon That is so clearly not the case. Joining the EU is clearly in the national interest, yet for party advantage you oppose it. Most people want to rejoin, so you oppose a fair electoral system that would make it happen!

Graham Simpson They are right. And our crap voting system means the only voters that matter are swing voters in marginal seats. A Labour landslide will perpetuate this crap voting system - only #TacticalVoting for a #HungParliament can #GetPRDone .
X-Lymbat The problem with voting purely to remove the Tories is that Labour are second in 276 Tory seats, meaning a huge Labour majority, no PR and more tactical voting in 2029.
Labour gains in their 80ish top Tory targets would be enough.

Graham Simpson Labourโs electoral coalition is incredibly fragile. If the economy doesnโt grow a lot they will need to make major cuts. This could easily be a one term government
Richard Graham Simpson Which is why they need to #GetPRDone during their first term ... or face the prospect that Cons could easily regain unilateral power on a minority vote share in 2028/29, in which case they'd only have their own hubris and complacency to blame.

Raymond Snoddy South Cotswolds is Labour target 393(!). No one who wants PR should be voting Labour there unless they think Labour will give us PR if they get 400+ MPs (see also eg 1997, 2001).

Robert EuropeanPowell We have no choice but to vote tactically in areas where splitting the non-Tory vote would lead to a Tory being elected๐ฅด
Thereafter we need to push much harder to #GetPRDone
