South Devon Primary Caroline Voaden MP 7. A big shout-out to The Green Party candidate, Robert Bagnall (Robert Bagnall). He knew the odds were against him, but he committed to the primary process. His honourable participation lent power and credibility to the whole exercise. Everyone involved is grateful to him.

Reflecting on George Monbiot's talk on Sunday morning at the Byline Festival On congratulating our new MP Caroline Voaden MP, George commented that the South Devon Primary model has been proven and that it's now ready to be rolled-out nationally...

A huge moment. Thank you to all the people of South Devon who put their trust in me. I will not let you down. As first weeks at work go this one has been quite something! #totnes #Brixham #SouthDevon ⁦Liberal Democrats⁩

Hi @disordershow, thanks for the mention in ep52. The Primary was actually organised by the community, not the parties, to clarify the tactical vote. Caroline Voaden MP won the primary & went on to take the seat with 7k majority after 100 years of Tory wins. alexandra hall hall 🇺🇦🌻 🙏

Battle of the tactical voting sites!! The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote versus Best for Britain Who Won?! Let's see where they disagreed!! In Epsom and Ewell, stopthetories.vote went with the Lib Dems, getvoting.org went with Labour. Lib Dems WON with 38% of the vote. Labour got 15%...

The success of candidates backed by South Devon Primary, Melksham & Devizes Primary, Newton Abbot Primary, and Horsham Primary in the General Election shows the power of grassroots movements. Well done to all involved! #PeoplePower #GE2024 #UniteForChange #ProgressiveAlliance buff.ly/3JPP44z

The Labour leadership's resistance to proportional representation is undemocratic and out of tune with the demands of its own members. It has a huge majority on a small mandate. It knows that is not right or fair. It must also know it could easily tip the other way. Thread/

If Labour is serious about integrity in politics, they simply can’t defend the hugely undemocratic first past the post system which handed them 2 thirds seats on 1 third of vote & effectively disenfranchises so many in “safe seats” whose votes don’t count theguardian.com/politics/artic…

"Country first, party second." That was Keir Starmer's promise. Ditching First Past the Post is supported by: ✅ A majority of Brits ✅ Climate giants Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace UK, Green New Deal Rising + more ✅ Economic justice campaigners The Equality Trust, Tax Justice UK, High Pay Centre,

.Jonathan Freedland on how Biden stepping aside for a replacement selected in a mini-primary could reinvigorate the Democrats. 🤞🤞🤞 theguardian.com/commentisfree/… We certainly found that our primary helped create an incredibly positive campaign, in stark contrast to the in-fighting of 2019.

If you give out money to everyone, you have to tax it back from the rich.

The election has highlighted the need for more cohesive tactical voting strategies. Let's work together to ensure our voices are united and impactful in future elections. #ElectionLessons #MidBucksPrimary #TacticalVoting #VoteTogether #MidBuck buff.ly/3JPP44z

"The greatest friend of the truly corrupt politician is the phrase 'they're all as bad as each other', because they're really not." ＠mrjamesob questions why Keir Starmer's 'declared hospitality' is being presented as a major story.
