Thanks for making the case so strongly! This should be a bipartisan issue in reality
The govt has a majority with 43% of the vote. I don’t know what’s more remarkable: the fact that the govt has a majority on less than a majority of votes or that we’re so used to this disproportionality that we very rarely comment on how remarkable it is.https://buff.ly/2YfVLEP

Whichever party is in power is wedded to the status quo and argues for it by implying that it has simplicity. While we argue against it with more complex terms. We need to argue against it emotionally that the status quo JUST ISN'T FAIR. Simple arguements win IMO

It's fraudulent. Voters are being defrauded by the Labservatives.

Hi, Wendy! Last December 29.3% of the electorate voted for a Conservative. More than 70% refused to vote Conservative, either by engaging in the democratic process and voting for somebody else, or by abstaining from engagement at all.

#FPTP has out stayed its welcome. Time for it to go. Along with unwritten constitution- sort of works if power has integrity, truth etc. Opens up a massive can of worms when power has lies, banality, elitism, nationalism at its coreThanks.

I could live with the 42% if that did not mean that governments felt they could do what they like - majoritarianism. FPTP is utterly undemocratic and both main parties are equally guilty of clinging to it
