Oh, and
4. Despite the demand for proportional representation from Labour members, Starmer won't change
our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote".

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.
Privatised water is a scam.
I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

Outrageous.
Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition β not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

Dear sir Keir, wishing you a very hopey Christmas. I wanted to wish you good luck with your relaunch in January. I heard you want to focus on three things. So here's my advice. Tax billionaires, cut bills, stop scapegoating migrants. Zack.
Dear Wes, wishing you a very hopey Christmas. When you're not measuring the curtains in downing street, our hopes for you are that you can finally reduce NHS waiting lists in 2026 and stop taking donations from private healthcare. Peace and love, Zack.
Dear Yvette, Christmas should surely be a time to think about peace - and the governments role in prosecuting those calling for it. Peace and love, Zack.

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So Iβm joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

Nearly every day we're seeing more voices in the media wake up to the crisis of democratic representation that we're facing.
First Past the Post is unsustainable. The only way to avoid complete chaos is to switch to Proportional Representation - now

π₯ Excellent article in @economist.com about the absurdity of election results under FPTP - and its consequences:
"When the country has lots of medium-size parties, the correlation between the number of votes in, and number of seats out, owes more to Las Vegas than to Edmund Burke." π―π―

The tribal tedium sets in hard for me at times like this. It's bad politics, and dreadful for the country.
If we had equal votes of course none of this would matter. But they won't even do that.
