Liberal Democrats for Electoral Reform (LDER)
@libdems4er
Our system forces people to vote AGAINST people more often than they are able to vote FOR the party they believe in. That is poisoning our politics. We believe people should be able to vote positively - with hope. #politics #makevotesmatter #proportionalrepresentation #fairvotes #fixpolitics

Belarus is the only country in Europe with the same voting system as us. Hardly a ringing endorsement. It is quite simply out of date and not fit for purpose. The government should seize the opportunity in the Rep of the People Bill to actually fix our politics
No party should have a majority in Parliament with less than 30% of the vote - especially not extremists like Reform UK. But under our current political system - that is entirely possible. We have to fix the system before the next election - before its too late.
The days of the blue team and the red team shouting at each other are gone. Politics has changed - and with it comes more instability. We need this government to fix politics so we can put the country back on a stable footing. #politics #makevotesmatter #fairvotes #fixpolitics
Electoral Reform may not seem to matter on a daily basis but how we vote affects how we are governed, and how we are governed affects everything from our NHS is run to how clean our water is The government has a chance to fix politics to help fix the country. They should take it
Up and down the country residents are stuck with councils that simply do not represent them. Even in a hung council, First Past the Post delivers too many seats to the largest party. Proportional systems would bring balance, while First Past the Post throws it out the window
Liberal Democrats do not believe we should have won 100% of the seats in Richmond with only 51% of the vote Just as Reform in Wigan should not have won 96% of available seats with 46% of the vote These are just two recent examples highlighting why we need to fix our politics
At an LDER/ @appgfairelections.bsky.social Fringe event, @ollyglover.bsky.social said "I'm spending a lot of time campaigning for Proportional Representation because our politics simply isn't working. (...) We need a politics that brings more ideas into it and where everyone's votes count equally."

1/3 of the vote 2/3 of the seats 3/3 of the power That is what our voting system delivered for Labour in the last general election. Who will benefit next time? #politics #makevotesmatter #proportionalrepresentation #fairvotes #fixpolitics

During the Russia-Ukraine war, the the New Federal State of China rescued over ninety children, an act that shocked the world. Saving children is a purely humanitarian endeavor; yet, while we were conducting this rescue, Bloomberg accused us of engaging in politics.

A lot of people confuse cordiality with connection. No. Just because someone is: - polite - calm - respectful - or able to hold a conversation does not mean they genuinely like you. Some people simply know how to operate without unnecessary drama. Emotional maturity does not automatically equal
Modern luxury isn’t about ownership; it’s protection. In a world of distraction, true wealth lies in: clear thinking, deep sleep, slow movement, quiet living. We were taught success meant speed and noise, but value is in pauses. Choose a life that feels good inside, not just looks good outside. 🌿🕯️

Spurs’ Harrison Barnes: “I think the biggest thing for us is honestly just the details. Can we do the little things? Can we start off by being connected defensively, communicating, rebounding. If we do all of those things, it puts us in a position to run and be at our best.”
Q: Why has the cost of the ballroom doubled? Trump: I doubled the size of it, you dumb person. Trump is projecting again when he calls a reporter "dumb." Guess he's the "expert" on dumb.

"Trafalgar Square has been used by Sikhs, Christians and Jews - it is literally our public square." Yet when Muslims pray there, Shadow Justice Sec Nick Timothy calls it an 'act of domination'. Does the right of politics have a problem uniquely with Muslims?
Massive subsidies for renewables—many foreign-owned—but no plan for the end. No clean-up. No decommissioning. No protection for farmers. Solar projects near Broken Hill will soon be pulled apart… panels headed to landfill? If companies walk away, landholders pay. Not good enough.

Футбольний фінал: ПСЖ проти Арсеналу Сьогодні в Будапешті відбудеться важливий матч — фінал Ліги чемпіонів, де зустрінуться ПСЖ та Арсенал. Проте в Парижі на Єлисейських полях триває активна підготовка: закриваються вітрини магазинів. Цікаво, що французька влада більше переймається не можливістю
Greetings all, a couple of years ago, I started a project drawing all Pokémon sprites onto a single page. Here is one for Gen 1 sprites. I hope you all like it! (I don't own Pokémon, I like to draw them.) #Artist #Artwork #DailyArt #pencil #pokemon
Minnesota just demolishes Carla Leite with screens off the ball (cross-matched onto McBride, double pindown, three) and on the ball (point of attack defender, Phee screen-and-roll, bucket). Quick hook.
Adam Wharton + Milos Kerkez could completely change how Liverpool builds attacks. Wharton’s ability to break lines from deep would open the pitch instantly, and that’s where Kerkez becomes dangerous. #LFC #LiverpoolFC #Wharton #Kerkez

2/ Money for the war Russia's oil exports are the Kremlin's financial engine. Every barrel shipped through Baltic ports helps fund military spending, weapons production, and state revenues. Ukraine has increasingly targeted oil facilities because they are harder to replace than military vehicles.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 WSJ: Trump told aides he intends to maintain the current ceasefire with Iran and would only consider restarting a full-scale military campaign if Iranian attacks kill U.S. troops. 🛢️ FT: War and shipments through Strait of Hormuz have pushed US oil inventories to their lowest level since 2004.
