The only justification for not doing this is protectionism. Starmer is placing party above country. We can see how damaging the Tories are. I do not want to see their likes again.

And I am entitled to vote against that. My preference is ignored under the current system. PR voting is about everyone having an equal say. The Biggest argument against PR voting is that it will facilitate some extreme groups having a voice. My opinion is that we all should have a say. If their opinion is valid then most will back it.

Fascism is oppression by the few over the many, which is exactly what we have under FPTP. Both Labour and the Tories are inhibiting change because it means they have to do very little work comparatively to gain control of the whole country.

Mate, I only linked to where you suggested it in response to you saying: Where did I suggest that?

Take a breath, have a KitKat.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
