The fact that hackers accessed data of 40 million people on the electoral roll is hugely alarming. The fact the Electoral Commission covered it up for a year is shameful. @VoteTrueAndFair believes in modernising and strengthen our democracy, including properly funding and strengthening an independent Electoral Commission

@RCDidles@acgrayling From memory the UKIP vote in the last Euro MP elections was 14%. The pro-Brexit vote in the 2019 General Election, in which the Tories won their 80-seat 'landslide' was 44%. PR would rescue us from minority rule.
Its sobering to realise the £40 Billion a year lost in tax from the Brexit damage to output could have paid for the full wage increases for the UK public sector and tax rises wouldn’t have been needed.

This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again
