Will Andrew's "shame" change the Royals forever?

In Mexico the Drug Cartels have a degree of control over the Government.
In the USA the Fossil Fuel/Weapon Manufacturing Cartel has complete control of everything.

Across Europe we must reject the far-right.
The average amount that the private sector could afford to pay its 19.6m workers is ยฃ32,000.
That's how much average profit they make on every worker.
It will never be enough for them, and little enough for you.
Peter Mandelson has been arrested.
It is time for Mandelson and Andrew to be charged.
Let a jury decide if they are guilty of leaking State Secrets.
We don't want them to be let off because they are 'too rich and powerful'.

Under First Past the Post, this means:
โ MPs most constituents didn't vote for
โ Single-party governments that most of the country never wanted
@appgfairelections.bsky.social Chair @alexsobel.co.uk is right: this is not a way to run a democracy.
Whoever wins in Gorton & Denton will do so on a small minority of the vote.
Thousands of voters will be left unrepresented - and thousands will know they didn't even vote how they wanted in the first place.
In 2029, this could be the case in most seats. Scrap First Past the Post now.
Elections should be about deciding what's best for your community and for the country.
They shouldn't be about trying to guess who's best placed to stop the outcome you fear the most.
What we're seeing in Gorton and Denton shows very clearly why we need Proportional Representation.
โAre you voting with your heart or to stop someone you fear?
Our campaigners have been out in Gorton and Denton, speaking to people about how they're feeling about the by-election - and why Proportional Representation would make voting feel so much more empowering. โ๏ธ
