The threat of a far-right government elected against the public will has made tactical voting more vital than ever…

It is a tragedy of our voting system that we must vote tactically rather than sincerely - but until that system changes, tactical voting is our strongest shield against the right.

Blair is insane, and on the same terribly naughty list as Trump, Murdoch, Assad, Netanyahu etc etc

That separation went badly wrong with Constantine and the β€œholy” Roman Empire. I find all monotheism to be a mental illness, no more so than the Catholic Church. I went to the Vatican and felt physically sick. It’s everything Jesus and co stood against. It’s appalling.

Looking forwards to when Dale Vince publicly comes over from Labour to seriously back the Greens. With politics like this it’s surely a no-brainer.

I love that he’s now being mooted seriously as a prime minister, and I’m only hearing this explicitly from his enemies - will do wonders for the polls ;)

Back Zack!

Wonderfully penned letter from Zack to our Home Secretary and I love how it invokes her younger self, which yes seems like a far nicer person.

A strategist that cannot see and account for a landslide victory built on tactical voting is utterly incompetent and delusional. Nothing world class about it.

The winner takes all dog eat dog voting system we have generally attracts nut bags, with some glowing exceptions. Thats pretty much all I think?

Tears of joy this morning!

The perfect result.

Not a razor thin margin, Hannah won by 4,000 votes. Compelling.

Labour in 3rd is existential crisis for them.

We also took a pop at the Reform Death Star and landed a nasty blow. F*** fascism.

The tide is on the turn, and my heart is full.

The Gorton and Denton By-Election Shows Clearly What's Wrong with FPTP - Make Votes Matter By Livvy Gibbs,Β Young Make Votes MatterΒ Coordinator.

β€˜Bar charts…matter far more than manifestos, with campaign leaflets focusing on viability rather than long-term vision. The goal becomes squeezing rivals, not expanding debate, and tactical voting replaces political choice.

This is not a failure of voters. It is a failure of the system.’
