The UK is going in a concerning direction with the jailing of environmentalist protestors and the detaining of mps that disagree with Starmer on Palestine.
Starmer is also arresting journalists for their coverage of Israel’s war crimes.
This is the kind of authoritarian bullshit that Labour always try.
I can never comprehend why so many people who care about their rights support Labour when they really are very similar to the conservatives in many ways.
Our system isn’t like America where it’s a choice between red or blue. We have viable smaller parties.
Stop voting for authoritarians who enforce first past the post to diminish your democratic vote.
Start exploring whether Lib Dem, Green, or literally anyone might share your views.
We have viable smaller parties.
Not with FPTP. Even though Reform currently has the highest level of support, I doubt it would translate into a parliamentary majority.
A coalition could achieve it, you wouldn’t need a majority.
We wouldn’t be in the dire mess we are now if the AV referendum had succeeded.
The best case scenario imo for the next election is reform continue to take votes away from the conservatives. The populace lose confidence in labour so they don’t secure enough votes for a majority. But they form a progressive alliance with libs and greens purely to enact electoral reform.
Once we have proportional representation a new election is immediately called and we finally have fair representation. Reform will get a ton of seats so they finally feel represented. Same for lib dems and green.
Also support proportional representation to make every vote count!
Clearly I got sidetracked at the end there. Yes, I definitely meant to conclude people need to vote for parties that support proportional representation.
While the labour membership overwhelming support PR the party itself will never adopt it. And yet their membership repeatedly vote for anti democratic authoritarianism
So LibDems then.
