@TheRoundhead42 Helen Salmon - Chippy person Back to square one The opponents of PR are the ones who would automatically lose out because of the advance in democracy through greater voter engagement and the increased power of each vote cast - which never comes across well.

@TheRoundhead42 Lady Herder of Cats ๐ Helen Salmon - Chippy person Back to square one Worth the risk. FPTP and Conservative driven boundary changes is slowly turning us into a one party state. Millions don't vote at all and millions of those who do see their votes count for nothing. Voting needs more nuance -see the solitary Caroline Lucas #ClimateChange
@TheRoundhead42 Chris Rennard ๐ถ๐๐บ๐ฆ Make Votes Matter LCER That wasnโt PR though was it? It was FPTP. Individual parties have less power under PR and are obliged to work constructively with other parties.
Considering that in UK FPTP gen elections about 60% are left with an all powerful govt they donโt want, the UK is hardly a democracy.

Napoleon 'Do Gooder Lefty' Solo Louis Barfe @__FalseNine FurnessGirl @TheRoundhead42 I'm not gay so I can't speak for when it comes to homophobia but as a brown person if someone was racist to me and somewhere down the line wanted to have a conversation to better educate themselves my dms will always be open as it's through educating that you learn.
Mudney Political Motivation ๐บ๐ฆ๐ป @TheRoundhead42 But if UKIP had had its own seats, the people who voted for them would not have felt disenfranchised and UKIP wouldnโt have needed to hijack the Conservative party. I want PR so that all shades of opinion are fairly represented, even those I dislike.

@TheRoundhead42 Xtine ๐ I'm guessing Xtine is a woman (apologies if not), but if so, you literally proved the point with your opening 'Fuck off' gambit. A quick stroll through your replies clearly indicates you have a problem with women. So not difficult to see why most people would unfollow you.
