Justice?

5 Just Stop Oil activists receive 4 and 5 year sentences for planning to block a motorway!

But Politicians “get away” with causing untold extra deaths in Covid times

Post Office Scandal. 900 Subpostmasters wrongly convicted.

And Just 2% of rapes end in conviction

I think that New Zealand’s MMP system is worth looking at.

@EvanEdinger
Just watched your video on proportional representation and I suspect that many of those that voted Reform did it because they knew it was unlikely that the candidate would get the seat.

I remember that the day after the Brexit vote, many people only voted Leave

I always vote for the party I believe in.

You may have seen this: a former master at Eton has written saying

Eton's pupils "should be saved from the sense of privilege, entitlement & omniscience that can produce alumnii such as Boris Johnson, Rees Mogg & Kwasi Kwarteng ...and thereby damage a country's very fabric"

No rational calculation could result in a further period of Tory rule. We have all had our fill. Time to go. (7)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

In this election campaign, Rishi Sunak has presented no coherent picture of what the Tories actually want to achieve (6)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

This has continued under five different Tory Prime Ministers (5)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

The result has been a failure even to attempt to address the important issues for the future of our country: housing, elderly care, health, the UK’s role in the world (4)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

Its internal obsession with EU membership and its own divisions on the issue has led it to a state of constant distraction (3)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

Since 2015, the Tories have governed alone and have placed party interest ahead of national interest at every stage (2)

[Ian Lucas @IanCLucas]

Tomorrow will see the end of the worst period of Government in my lifetime (1)
