“The traditional foundations of Conservative and Labour politics are not there.” At this week’s webinar, Prof Sir John Curtice brilliantly explained why the two-party system is breaking down like never before. Electorally, he argued, “we are in a different world.” The voting system must catch up.

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.” Baroness Hale says it plainly. Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures. When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

Keir Starmer thinks his government has restored trust and respect to politics…

Former Prime Minister, John Major, has called for a political donations cap. He recognises that allowing mega-rich individuals to make unlimited political donations gives those with the deepest pockets "undue influence" and "preferential access to ministers". What do you think?

🗨️"The thing about a democracy is the electoral system is supposed to deliver what the voters want." Instead, looking around councils in England we see some very warped outcomes. But it doesn't have to be this way. In Scotland & Wales, the results better reflect the balance of opinion among voters.

With Parliament now in recess & some MPs head off to the beach, a reminder that - technically - there’s nothing to stop them doing this all year round while still drawing their salary. A job description for MPs would help to set enforceable minimum standards. Find out more 👇 youtu.be/LpcpEdA62Gk

💬 “It’s an extremely unpredictable & suboptimal system that requires voters to engage in a lot of game playing.” - @robfordmancs.bsky.social. In today's multi-party environment, First Past the Post lowers the bar for politicians while raising it for voters.

Should Nigel Farage be able to create 200 life peers after the next election? How will the House of Lords work if a party of government or the official opposition has no - or next to no - representation in the Lords? The House of Lords is unprepared for today's multi-party politics.

Even long-time defenders of First Past the Post are struggling to make its case. George Osborne warns that in today’s multi-party landscape, FPTP can no longer be seen as a bulwark against the extremes, but more like a “floodgate”. Any party topping 30% could sweep away its rivals.

You can’t end every crisis. But you can end someone’s. The journey to #Afghanistan left Bushra's daughter in need of urgent care. Help arrived and for the first time in months she felt that someone was there for them. This is what humanitarian aid can do. One life at a time.
