The trouble with divisive politicians is that they would rather politicize a problem for their own ends than agree to implement an evidence-based solution in the national interest. #GeneralElection

Recent governments seemed more interested in getting re-elected than in governing effectively in the national interest. Is democracy a means of arriving at a consensus & social stability or just a way of enabling a majority to dominate? #GeneralElection

Instead of the concerns & aspirations of the electorate informing government policy, strategic, socially divisive "wedge" issues (such as Brexit) have been contrived. UK electoral law badly needs tightening up.

With the help of social media, voter exclusion, & illegal funding, some politicians have been able to undermine & "manage" democracy by manipulating the outcomes of democratic elections & referenda through disinformation using unregulated, targeted online ads. #GeneralElection

Although an adversarial approach can be effective in testing political arguments AND be decisive, when not supported by objective evidence, a debate can easily become polarized and policy quickly descend into a tribal three-word slogan. #GeneralElection

When the media focus is on national political issues, local constituencies tend to be ignored, but these are fundamental to the UK Parliamentary system, and genuine local concerns and aspirations can help buffer manipulated national public opinion.

In the UK, the elected Parliament is sovereign, not the government. What gives this legitimacy is the degree of participation of the electorate in electing their Parliamentary representatives and the informed choices made by individual voters.

“Political instability and constitutional uncertainty have framed the past eight years of British politics,” argue Jess Sargeant and Hannah White. “The boundaries of the constitution have been tested to—and sometimes beyond—their limits” https://t.co/Q3lcSVZFww 👇
