"In Twickenham and Richmond Park, we now have every single councillor, but we don't have every single vote. We'd welcome electoral reform in our councils, where we are overrepresented." Lib Dem leader @eddavey.libdems.org.uk calls for a fair voting system in his response to the King's Speech:

Disinformation thrives when trust in politics is undermined. Our voting system leaves millions of people without a voice, eroding trust in our democracy. Thank you to @appgfairelections.bsky.social Chair @alexsobel.co.uk for making this important point in Parliament.

"Is it not time that we had a proper consideration in this House of changes to the voting system, so that the next election is not a disaster for democracy?" Great question by @maxwilkinson.bsky.social The Government must wake up and get to grips with First Past the Post before it’s too late.

📺 WATCH: Today at #PMQs @ollyglover.bsky.social asked Keir Starmer about the UK's broken voting system. "Does the Prime Minister still have full confidence in the First Past the Post system to deliver strong and stable government?" "Yes I do," responded our 6th Prime Minister in 10 years 👀

WATCH @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @rory-stewart.bsky.social discuss the absurdity of our voting system. FPTP silences smaller parties while giving full power to the biggest one -even if it only wins 1/3 of the vote. Last time it was Labour, next it could be Reform. Whoever wins, the voter loses

"Evidence shows that PR leads to higher turnout, more representative governments and more stable policymaking." Yesterday in Parliament, several MPs raised the urgent need to fix our voting system. Thank you @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social @lisasmartmp.bsky.social 👏👏👏

"We have a five- or six-party-system trapped in the body of a two-party electoral system." @timbale.bsky.social explains why multi-party politics is here to stay 👇 Voters want real choice. We need a proportional voting system that makes it possible.

'[In] water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in the Earth; and many of the Children of Illuvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen' (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, p. 19).💧💗

Our democracy is under threat. From the Kremlin to Mar-a-Lago, powerful men are trying to destroy our great country. Our new laws would ban foreign money, block foreign ads, and stop tech giants like Elon Musk buying influence. We need action now. Only our party is offering it.

the old testament if a false book The New Bible Dictionary 1988 Edition,p.305 states: “A FURTHER IMPLICATION IS THAT MOSES WOULD HAVE AN EGYPTIAN EDUCATION, ONE OF THE BEST AVAILABLE IN HIS DAY.” Be that as it may, Pharaoh would never have spoken with him in the language of the slaves - hebrew!
