Saying you can't change the unfair voting system without a manifesto pledge endorsed by the unfair voting system you want to change, is the most Blarite, duplicitous piece of nonsense yet heard in UK politics.
@AndyBurnhamGM has lost before he's started.

@politicshome None of them are welcome for obvious electoral reform reasons. Astonishingly only @wesstreeting is on record as a supporter of #PR. This is his trump card. Just legislate it.
The #NationalCommission4PR will, "Assess the options and build a consensus for change."
Shortlist right?
Snap referendum question - as New Zealand asked on a GE ballot paper..
Labour, Greens, Libs, SNP and Plaid manifesto pledge together to legislate the winner?
“Establishing a commission to examine the options is a sensible, proportionate first step and a way to restore trust in politics.”

“Get behind a clear, unified, single message and tell the public: we will make your kids financially secure. And nobody else can do that. The far-right can’t do that”
Did you miss @garyseconomics speaking at #ChangeNOW on Saturday?
Watch this space for the full speech soon.
More than 100 MPs have now signed this amendment calling for reform of the electoral system
More than 70 of them Labour - all wanting to see an electoral commission set up, something @AndyBurnhamGM has committed to doing should he be in a position to make that decision...
💥"I would argue if he [Andy Burnham] becomes PM, he could introduce a fairer voting system in time for the next General Election."💥 @CarolineLucas
Spot on.
Please retweet if you'd like to hear @EdwardJDavey and @ZackPolanski say the same.

"As Prime Minister on 33% I've lost the ability to extract answers from the police, with months of prior warning this was going to happen."
Why not just say the police officers were genuinely tricked, and it's a tragic mistake they are on extended leave to recover mentally from?
We now know there's a radicalised small very
conifident to place bets minority under @elonmusk's algorithm, who are going to vote @RestoreBritain instead of @reformparty_uk in #Makerfield.
This will be the story of the By Election......?
Boring zero retweet call to make this contrived 20,000 locality responsible for MAJOR NATIONAL DECISIONS a question ABOUT THE FITNESS OF OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEM?!?!?!
That Josh Simons orchestrated this is a factor.

Our democracy is not working under #FPTP
And we need to change the system
We don't need to change the system at the next election
We know we have a democratic crisis now
And it is time
to bring in Proportional Representation
