@lukeakehurst The Cllr and PLP ones are elected now by FPTP though right? So even at their current size, a preferential system would be better.
I just can't figure out the claim that there would need to be 5 positions for these to be proportional (which presumably led to it being voted down).

Wages are largely governed by supply demand.

[graham brown @grahamb42214021]

@g_don_f @Andrew_Adonis So you were happy that foreign Labour flooded our jobs market & depressed wages for lorry drivers & others ?

[Ron Medlow @RonGU1]

Was this 2021 or 2019?

Given that Brexit has so thoroughly screwed the music industry…

…it’s lovely to see this new tradition of European & UK flags together at the Proms really take hold.

🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇪🇺

[Ron Medlow @RonGU1]

I thought so too.

@mikegalsworthy There were plenty of EU flags 🇪🇺 and hats 🇪🇺 in the audience last night, but I think this clip was from 2019? The 150th year stage logo isn't there in this clip!

Finland was near the front row.

@mikegalsworthy Poland, Finland, Denmark, Germany, ... which others did I miss?

Beware of PR voting, it rarely delivers the result its champions predict, especially “fairness.” Can you indicate a country whose PR system/outcomes you admire ?

Have you read ^The Assault on Truth by Peter Oborne^?

I can’t bear Johnson. It’s a visceral, profound loathing. I can’t bear to look at him or listen to him. I find him completely repulsive. His turn of phrase. His glaring insincerity. His twatty attempts to be funny or bumbling or one of us.
He simply cannot fuck off far enough.

[Ron Medlow @RonGU1]

NEXT WEEK the government are debating spending up to £20,000,000 extra on each general election to make it harder for us all to vote. Sign @electoralreform's petition to stop the government’s expensive plans #SayNoToVoterID #HandsOffOurVote

[Ron Medlow @RonGU1]

Largely thanks to the Labour Campaign for Electoral Reform!

"I think the motion will go through and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw Proportional Representation in the Labour Party manifesto at the next general election."

Leading Leavers said in the referendum campaign that the UK would be mad to leave the SM.
So were they lying or are they mad?
Either way they are unfit to be in government.

My Brexiteer family tell me that #BrexitFoodShortages et al are being deliberately engineered by remainers to make people believe that #Brexit is an unmitigated failure

[Sarah Hurst 🇺🇦 @Life_Disrupted]

Imagine being furious because you didn't know that leaving the single market and kicking out all the migrants would affect you.
