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?
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"

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.
14%I'm labourish: FPTP works
47%I'm labourish: PR better
8%Not labourish: FPTP works
31%Not labourish: PR better

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