What you are witnessing in Britain today is the direct result of…shamelessly blaming migrants/foreigners for crime, crumbling high steets and austerity, for which they are not to blame. As those doing blaming well know.
This election result should mark the end of First Past The Post electoral system. Nearly two thirds didn’t vote for Labour but they still achieved a massive majority. A public debate needs to start today about upgrading our democracy #MakeVotesMatter
The Lib Dem manifesto was launched this morning.
As well as fixing our NHS and care sevices and returning to proper community policing, our party is campaigning for significant political reform
This includes Proportional Representation (STV) for electing MPs and Lords reform 👇
Amazing gig @joinerslive by @octoberdrift last night. Brilliant songs with fantastic energy from the band and a crowd buzzing back at them and at a cracking local venue too @musicvenuetrust
This weekend, Britain may be about to have its worst traffic jam ever. Up to five hours of delay for 100,000 drivers or more.
Would you believe me if I told you the reason is because Britain's most hated motorway is too good?
Or that someone had a semi-secret plan to fix that🧵
In my humble opinion, some form of PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION is needed in future. The first past the post, two party system fails us appallingly.
2019 GE Results
Tories managed to break Britain with just 43.6% of vote giving 365 seats.... so 8.4 seats per % of vote.
Lib Dems had 11.5% of vote but only 11 seats.... so less than 0.96 seat per % of vote
So every Tory vote was worth nearly 9 TIMES MORE than a Lib Dem vote.
It's a broken system
