Ah yes, that famous close link between a UK MP and his constituency guaranteed by the first-past-the-post, single-seat-constituency system.

As long as two shit parties think their shit "electoral strategists" can game the UK's shit electoral system, nothing will change.
Labour will never agree to anything like real democracy #PRSTV until they're staring into the abyss of terminal decline, which is probably a couple of ddcades away.

seat projection giving Reform UK 370 seats
Latest poll gives #ReformUK 31% of votes, but #FPTP voting would give Reform 57% of seats.
The other parties should urgently collaborate to introduce #STV #PRSTV ... but #Starmer won't 🙁
REF: 31%
LAB: 22%
CON: 17%
LD: 12%
GRN: 10%

Well, gosh.
The least worst outcome is probably that Starmer's Labour is somewhat timorous in implementing right-of-Thatcher Conservative policies, and in four years' time scrapes back into power with Greens and LibDems, conceding #PRSTV as the price of coalition. 🙄

Both former mainstream parties have now been destroyed by the FPTP electoral system that was their raison d'être.
But at least the burghers of #Clacton are represented by an MP that maintains close local links to their constituency. 🙄

I would never trust an electronic system to do this properly!
Also, think of all the excitement and commentary we would lose out on.

Being married to someone from another country, I get so animated when describing the PRSTV system: the act of describing its intricacies makes me appreciate how beautifully democratic it is. Even if I don't agree with the winning parties, it is exactly what the people have voted for. #GE24 #PRSTV

It's election day in Ireland. Short campaign and a real sense of jeopardy as my constituency loses one seat. The count will be great entertainment over the weekend. Remember: if you don't vote, don't bitch. #GE2024 #election #ireland #vote #prstv

Picture of a polling station sign. Text in English and Irish “polling station” “ionad vótála”
I did some democracy.
Got to 10 preferences before I felt the bile rising.
