Take a look at how still this kingfisher keeps it's head while hunting, incredible! 💙

Spot on from ⁦@GeorgeMonbiot⁩ - the “best antidote to demagoguery is ....radical trust. To the greatest extent possible, parties & governments should trust communities to identify their own needs & make their own decisions.” https://t.co/080drbuQkg

So I've been thinking about Britain's electoral psychology. Seems to me that this is something that we should all do to make sense of mess we're in. For those of you who don’t think psychology is important, consider that a lot of politics is about how people THINK and FEEL. 1/

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

So here's the beginning of the cunning plan. A plan not just to replace the demagogues taking over governments in many parts of the world, but to change the very nature of politics.
It can start, in our towns and cities, immediately.

"Also look though at the vote share, because this is where you suddenly realise the difference that a proportional system would give us... The Conservatives gained 45% extraordinary to see that's just an increase of 1..."

[Cllr Benali Hamdache AM @greenbenali]

The Tories got 56% of the seats with 43.6% of the vote.

Remain supporting parties got over 50% of the vote.

First Past The Post keeps the Tories in power.

It’s time for @UKLabour to WAKE UP. Back Proportional Representation. @MakeVotesMatter.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

OK, so this is what we're going to do.
We double down on support/giving networks for the people this government is going to dump on. It won't make up for the failures of the state, but we'll do our best.
We support each other with love and strength through the dark times

There is just one party that comes out of the @NewStatesman Leader well. https://t.co/w0eabIZCLN

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

Our general election 2019 Leader. Why Britain deserves better — and why we won't endorse any party.

"This election could be the last chance we have to transform Britain.

It’s time to change course.

So Vote Green. If not now, when?"

Magnificent closing statement from @sianberry 😍 #VoteGreen2019 #ITVDebate

[Peter Tatchell @PeterTatchell]

I’m saddened that the #LabourManifesto makes no commitment to a fair voting system of #PR. To see @UKLabour support the current system that allows governments to win power on a minority of votes is tragic. Labour is NOT a democratic party - nor are the Tories.

Did the BBC really do this? So shocking if true.

[The Green Party @TheGreenParty]

"I felt that the climate was barely touched on, which really shows the difference of having the Green in the room.

This election needs to be the #ClimateElection"

"We need to vote for parties who will back electoral reform"

Just popped into @coopuk #Ruddington and signed the petition to end violence towards shop workers. Please consider signing it too if you see them https://t.co/u9lhHBw0rM

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The Labour Party have not only refused to commit to Proportional Representation but won't even look at changing to an equal voting system.

A denial of the basic rights of millions of people in this country to have a fair vote.

We have a broken democracy & Labour won't fix it.
