This calls into question the democratic credentials of first-past-the-post. Time for a serious discussion around British electoral reform ...

Mary C. Murphy UK Labour winning c34%v, c64%s means disproportionality in region of 23.0 / 24.0 (LSq), higher than any other election in Europe. Exceptionally high for a democracy – assuming a country whose electoral system so distorts the voice of the people can be deemed a full democracy.

Just spoke with new UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy. There are many issues on our shared agenda, bilaterally & internationally. Looking forward to working together in partnership.   We agreed this is a significant opportunity for a reset of bilateral relations.

Good call with the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer tonight. We both agreed to a reset in Anglo Irish relations and I intend to apply myself to this with energy and vigour as it matters to people across our islands
