Talking with lifelong #Labour activist (not #Corbyn fan..) over #Christmas, I was told "I support FPTP cos constituency link is really important". I then explained there are forms of PR that keep constituency link like #STV used in #Ireland & it was NEWS! cc @MakeVotesMatter

And what constituency link? Not sure of the numbers but judging by my constituency, there was 1 candidate who lived in the constituency and that was the Brexit Party candidate! The MP was parachuted into the seat at 2010 after losing his seat in 2005, the son of two MPs!

It's about accountability. I'm from St Helens orginally. St Helens North, South and Knowsley all have Lab MPs. A third of the vote is not Lab. Merseyside has no Tories or Lib dems. Essex has only Tories. FPTP creates territories, not constituencies.
