Proportional Representation is a joke, let’s actually fix things
We should get rid of the House of Lords and replace it with a directly elected chamber based on regional representation, with two members per county. It’s a total waste of money having all those Lords and Ladies who nobody voted for and mos
Scrap the Fixed Term Parliament Act
We should abolish the Fixed Term Parliament Act and go back to giving the Prime Minister the power to call an election at a time of their choosing, this would be more important than having a rigid schedule. This is needed because the curren
Reform UK is a grift and its supporters deserve better than Farage's lies
I genuinely feel sorry for most Reform voters. They have been sold a story that all of their problems are caused by immigration, and that one man with a pint glass and a podcast has the answers. He does not. He has never held office. He has
Let's Stop Pretending First Past the Post Actually Works
Why do we let a system where the party with fewer votes can win a majority of seats keep going? It’s frankly ridiculous. It means your vote often doesn't count for much unless you're in a marginal constituency, and it distorts representatio
Frankly, the whole First Past the Post system is a shambles. Time for a rethink.
It truly does baffle me how we continue with a system that so consistently underrepresents vast swathes of the electorate. I spent years in education, trying to teach young people about democracy, and yet I had to explain that their vote mi
End this two-party madness: let's have proportional representation already.
We should implement a form of proportional representation, specifically the Single Transferable Vote, for all general elections. It’s the only way to ensure that the seats in Parliament actually reflect the votes cast by the public. The cur
Let's ditch First Past the Post before my local council gets even weirder
I was at a parish council meeting last week, and honestly, it was a joke. The turnout was pathetic, and the same three people decide everything, even though the ward is split pretty evenly between a few different views. It just reinforces h
If politicians don't have to live by the rules, why should anyone else?
Why should people who break the law get to keep their jobs, especially when they’re meant to be upholding it? It makes no sense. We’ve got politicians getting themselves arrested and then just carrying on as if nothing happened. It’s a joke
Westminster doesn't listen to Scotland because the voting system lets them off the hook every single time
It just gets on my nerves how Westminster parties only ever care about a handful of swing seats down south. Our votes here in Scotland feel like they don't count for anything in the grand scheme of things, especially when it comes to a gene
Time to Get Real in Westminster
I'm sick of all the nonsense in Westminster, it's about time someone spoke some sense. All this shouting and posturing, it's like a bunch of kids in a playground. Our politicians should be better than that, they should be working for US, no
Make MPs Face the Music Sooner
We should introduce a system where MPs can be recalled by their constituents at any time, not just at election time. This is needed because too many politicians make promises they don't keep and then just coast until the next election. It
Scrap First Past The Post For Good
I'm proposing we ditch the first past the post system and replace it with a proportional representation system, it's the only way to make sure our votes actually count for something. This system is outdated and it's time for a change, we ne
Scrap First Past The Post Already
I'm getting fed up with the same old excuses for why we can't change our electoral system. It's like people think the current system is somehow sacred just because it's been around for a while. Newsflash: it's not working. I've seen good ca
Scrap the safe seats nonsense
I was talking to a mate who's a councillor the other day and he was saying how his job's basically a done deal every election because he's in a safe seat. It's ridiculous, if you ask me. He doesn't even have to try, just turn up and collect
Tired of protest votes and voting against something, not for it.
It’s frustrating to see so many people casting votes just to register a complaint or to stop someone else getting in. That’s not how good governance happens. We end up with a muddled mandate and it makes it harder for any government to actu
Proportional Representation isn't radical, it's just fair! Why are we still stuck in the dark ages?
I was chatting with my neighbour the other day, a lovely woman who works as a carer. She was telling me how she feels completely invisible politically. Her vote, she said, never seems to make a difference in her constituency because it’s al
Proportional Representation is a no-brainer, honestly.
We need to move to a system of Proportional Representation for all general elections. Our current First Past the Post system is frankly a joke and leads to wasted votes and governments that don't represent the majority of people. It's a rel
Westminster's electoral games are rigging the Welsh vote, time for a change
It drives me mad seeing how our votes in Wales seem to count for so little when it comes to the bigger picture. Westminster just cobbles together whatever system suits them at the time, and we end up with governments that don’t even have a
Our Defence Budget: Public Money for Public Safety, Not Private Profit
It’s easy to point fingers at government spending and say it’s all inefficient. Of course, there are always areas for improvement, and nobody wants to see public money wasted. But the idea that handing over something as fundamental as natio
Ranked Choice Voting is a no-brainer, why aren't we doing it already?
We should implement ranked choice voting for all elections. This system allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, eliminating the need for spoiler candidates and ensuring that winners have broader support than under our curre
