Jeremy Hunt makes an interesting case for Australian-style compulsory voting.When turnout falls and politics becomes increasingly driven by anger and protest,perhaps it is time to ask whether everyone should have a say in shaping the country’s future,not just the loudest voices
Should the UK introduce compulsory voting?
"It disincentivises politicians from speaking to a narrow sector of the population".
@Jeremy_Hunt on why he's changing his opinion on Australia's policy.

@Melissag0ec “Cancelled” now just means people objecting to divisive rubbish being said in public.
Reform got a protest vote, not a holy uprising. And for all the fake patriotism, pro-independence parties now run Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Quite the nationalist success story.
Reform and Nigel Farage have taken £20m+ from crypto-linked donors. £5m of that undeclared.
They now want lower crypto taxes, a national Bitcoin reserve and crypto-friendly rules.
Sound familiar? It’s Trump’s playbook.
Neither Nigel Farage or Rob Jenrick voted against Keir Starmer tonight.
When it actually mattered, when we actually have a chance to get rid of this dreadful PM, they were nowhere to be seen.
Politics isn’t punditry - it’s turning up, doing the work and taking a side.
A reminder that in 2013, the Falkland Islands voted by 99.8% to remain British.
The opinions of anyone other than the Islanders on this are irrelevant.

The Falkland Islands are British…no matter what Donald Trump says.
We must defend British Sovereign territory, and to do that we must back our armed forces.
Only the Conservatives have a plan to reinstate the two child benefit, and use the savings to fund our military.
A great day speaking to residents in Wakefield Rural with @ACinWY@NaeemFormuli and the team.

10,000 more police.
20% off your electricity bill.
Abolishing business rates.
Axing the Fuel Tax.
Stopping the Family Farms Tax.
Only the Conservatives have a plan to Get Britain Working Again 🇬🇧
Fed up with the Police walking by while drugs are openly smoked in public? So are we.
@KemiBadenoch's Conservative team will put the rights of ordinary people before criminals, and Take Back Our Streets.
I am deeply concerned by the dangerous escalation in the Middle East. Talk of nuclear attacks and references to Hiroshima and Nagasaki are alarming.
Sane and mature leadership must prevail before miscalculation leads to catastrophe.
@KemiBadenoch@Keir_Starmer
@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives We won’t rebuild trust with rhetoric that echoes the politics we oppose. After a historic low, this should be a moment for reflection and a return to serious, unifying centre-right leadership.
