Our friends in the USA have built a vote swap platform to help keep Trump out of the White House.

Third party voters in swing states vote Harris and have their protest vote cast (doubly) in a safe state.

Labour should NOT have a 63% majority in Parliament when they got just 34% of votes.

It was wrong when FPTP helped the Tories.
It's wrong now.

People voting tactically gave Labour its majority.

Labour OWES them, to change the system so they never have to vote tactically again!

Polling showed that only 5% of people planning to vote Labour were doing so bc 'I agree with their policies' & 48% said to 'get the Tories out'.

Only Proportional Representation can reinvigorate our politics to a point where everyone can vote for who they actually believe in.

“On electoral reform

We’ve got to address the fact

that millions of people vote in safe seats

and feel their votes don’t count”

What’s on the agenda, Alastair?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Alastair Campbell, "Next week Proportional Representation will be on the agenda" @campbellclaret

"Because if you have Labour getting a massive majority with fewer votes than Corbyn, LibDems doing really well than fewer votes than Kennedy and Clegg, and Reform getting millions of votes and a few seats, people are going to go: hold on a minute"

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Today's Twitter Poll: Do you think the first past the post (FPTP) system has worked well, or should we move closer to a form of proportional representation (PR)?

Rough glossary:
First Past The Post: Current system where each constituency elects person who got most votes, all other votes are then mostly irrelevant.
Proportional Representation: All votes count as (through various different mechanisms) number of seats is made to more closely matches the percentage of the national vote.

[Cayman Iguana 〓〓🇭🇰 🇲🇹 🇺🇦 @jinmienvig1]

@MVTFWD Yes. I vote swapped and both candidates were elected.

✔️ Democratic duty done.

🔄Whilst there was no @Plaid_Cymru on my ballot here in Nottingham, luckily I was able to #SwapMyVote with someone back in Wales.

🐕It also seems Dylan enjoyed himself and got plenty of attention!

[Steve Darch @SteveDarch]

@SwapmyVote I've swapped, and it's worked well
