For a constitutional assembly

We need a democratic revolution: parliament must establish a constitutional assembly, elected by the people, to draft a written constitution.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Constitutional monarchy my arse.

It’s the rich and powerful making it up as they go along, like they always have.

Time for #PR; a written constitution and a democratic republic

This is ‘the worst parliament in history’, according to the former chair of its standards committee.

24 MPs suspended from the current parliament.

I guess they will all have a show on GB News.

Need a written constitution that people can enforce.

Last year, Labour’s conference voted to back proportional representation.

This year, Labour’s leader is silent on constitutional reform.

Is it any wonder people turn to disruptive protest when leaders fail to abide by democratic decision-making or honour their election pledges?

[People Demand Democracy @peopledemanddem]

We are People Demand Democracy.

We demand a fair proportional voting system and a permanent legally-binding national House of Citizens, selected by democratic lottery to tackle the major crises facing the UK: inequality, corrupt politics, climate and so on.

We must be #UnitedAgainstTheTories!

[People's Assembly @pplsassembly]

We're not letting them go quietly, slinking off into the shadows.

The Tories will feel the full fury of 13 years of austerity!

6pm. 13 years of damage from this self serving Tory government. Make your voice heard.

Because MPs have no job description, and there isn't a minimum number of hours of attendance required, #NadineDorries continues to draw her £85,000 salary and gets away with neglecting her constituents.

Let us know whether you think this should change!

The scandal of a Tory secretly holding £70,000 Shell shares when Environment Secretary is today’s @DailyMirror splash.

Theresa Villiers in a huge coincidence opposes measures to combat climate change.

Clearly wealthy, she’s also voted to curb benefits and shackle trade unions.

Britain cannot call on other states to cut pollution unless there is #NoNewOil.

[Make Votes Matter @MakeVotesMatter]

Extreme weather tells us it's time to talk about climate change.

A pandemic tells us it's time to talk about NHS funding.

Social unrest tells us it's time to talk about inequality.

And all three tell us it's time to talk about fixing our democracy #ChangeTheVotingSystem

[Compass @CompassOffice]

Us in the @guardian on Labour's criticism of FPTP in its NPF report.

The party has recognised that FPTP is driving ‘distrust and alienation’ in politics; we now hope it can reach for the solution that its membership and the UK public already want.

Britain needs an elected constitutional assembly to write the rulebook for a democratic republic.

A shared commitment by opposition parties to introducing proportional representation is the first step in the democratic revolution.

Will Labour put PR in its manifesto?

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

THREAD.

Labour’s National Policy Forum has formally recognised that our electoral system is a driver of “the distrust and alienation we see in politics”.

This is significant. Here’s why, and where the movement for PR and voting equality could go next.

There were more votes for progressive change than for the Conservatives in Uxbridge - just as there is a progressive majority in this country.

Join our call for progressive parties to unite for a one-off pact at the next GE to win power and introduce PR:

Could Labour have won Uxbridge and South Ruislip if Labour’s leadership supported fair votes?

Perhaps in Somerton and Frome, the LibDems could make a convincing pitch to Labour and Green supporters to vote tactically because they back PR?

[For a constitutional assembly @ElectedAssembly]

The new MP thanked disillusioned Conservative voters and supporters of Labour and the Greens for backing her.

She pointed out that despite the electoral system, it is possible to unite and defeat the Tory government.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

Liberal Democrats WIN Somerton and Frome. 🔶

Congratulations @SarahDykeLD!

Somerset has spoken for the country: The public are sick of this Conservative Government taking people for granted.

Do you vote in either of these three seats?

Or do you know someone who does?
