"I wonder how many people are prepared to play by the system in the future, when you take into account that (...) 1 in 5 of the nation actually voted for the government." It was great to speak to Nigel Evans about why he changed his mind about electoral reform, and how FPTP undermines trust.

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.

"All we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic whilst ignoring the huge iceberg that's actually causing it to sink." 🚢 British politics is broken. It's been broken for a long time. Just replacing this or that politician won't fix it. It's time for system change.

"PR puts the power in the hands of voters rather than in the hands of politicians." Such an important point by @appgfairelections.bsky.social Vice Chair @lisasmartmp.bsky.social. Under FPTP, big decisions are made within the large parties. Under PR, voters have real choice.

The era of two-party politics is over. Under First Past the Post, this means: ❌ MPs most constituents didn't vote for ❌ 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.

"We need a new settlement between the British people and Westminster." @billybragg.bsky.social is on point here 💯🔥 Fixing the deep crises that our country is facing starts with giving people agency - a system where their voices are truly heard. It's called Proportional Representation.

U.S. Senator @padilla.senate.gov was put in handcuffs for simply asking a question. That’s not law & order — that’s authoritarianism. If this can happen to a U.S. Senator, I don’t even want to imagine what this means for everyday Americans.

Ukraine: Russian fascists struck an ambulance in liberated Kherson with an FPV drone. This is not an "accident," just like the Russian drone strike on the apartment building that injured 2 civilians in Romania was not an "accident." Russians commit war crimes daily.

Good news: We voted down Congresswoman Mace’s amendment to let fears of alleged “woke bias” undermine years of standardized, merit-based admissions. If we care about fairness & maintaining rigorous admissions standards, we should rely on assessments that are thoroughly validated and widely accepted.
