What or who is holding Labour hostage over it's lunatic policy of not rejoining the SM? The policy is incomprehensible unless they have a gun to their heads

Trump advisers are already telling the UK to "ditch" the EU or face trade tariffs from the US.
Let's do the opposite: dump Trump and get back into the EU.
US tariffs will only hurt the Trump government as long as Europe stands together.

Well said @labourlewis
And proving he is the real deal, Clive also supports #ProportionalRepresentation #PR
Countries using #EqualVotes are themselves more likely to be #MoreDiverse #MoreEqual #Freer #Fairer #MoreSustainable and to support International Law.

At the next General Election millions will be forced to vote, not for the candidate or party they want, but for the party best placed to beat the Tory
This may be OK as a one-off but it's no way to elect governments in a modern #Democracy

"We need to desperately break out of this two party system so that people's votes actually count"
@MarinaPurkiss joined us outside Labour Conference back in October to call for a fairer voting that would allow everyone to vote for who they actually want to vote for.

Because of our rotten voting system, laws regularly get passed in parliament that, if seats accurately reflected the way people voted, a majority of MPs would have opposed.
Itโs time for a form of politics that truly represents us.
#ProportionalRepresentation now!
Below is a list of bills since 2016 that passed into law because seats don't match votes. That is, the MPs *opposed* to them at 2nd or 3rd reading represented *more* people.
This is why @electoralreform should matter to all of us.

Dear @RishiSunak
This morning you said you hadn't read the report into Boris Johnson.
Now that you have, and seen the depth of his dishonour and disgrace, please could you ask his Majesty to withdraw Johnsonโs Honours List. A dishonoured PM shouldn't be allowed to submit a list

We are calling on @UKLabour to stop over reach by our corrupt Govt, but they seem not to understand what's happening. Obv I'm happy to chat with them and explain. Until then please sign this petition and RT as well!
21,000 HAVE NOW SIGNED the petition calling on @LabourLordsUK to back the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones to stop Sunakโs Government restricting our right to protest through an unprecedented abuse of power!
Plz keep signing & sharing! change.org/p/ask-labour-peerโฆ

If the founder of the Liberal Party personalised systemic corruption to the level of a few โbad eggsโ where exactly would we be now? Up your game @EdwardJDavey. Call for reform at every opportunity. #GetPRDone

I am doing my #Top1000 league table today so people have time to engage with my last 7 days tweets. Any engagement with today's tweets will earn 10 x Engagement Points.
I cancelled my @guardian membership today. For two reasons: too much NC and and not enough PR

Thank you to the Poplar and Limehouse constituents who met with me at Westminster today to discuss proportional representation.
It has been clear for some time that a range of electoral reforms is needed to increase democratic participation in our country.

Our system isn't working.
Or rather it is working but to serve the needs of the super rich and protect their vested interests.
It's time to change the system.

The most recent British Social Attitudes survey, a well-respected gauge of national opinion, also found that a majority of people in Britain favour replacing First Past the Post with PR.

"Why does my vote not count the same as other people's?"
@ZackPolanski hits the nail on the head: everyone should have an equal voice in our democracy.
In short, we need PR.
That's why hundreds of people from up and down the country turned out today to help #SortTheSystem
