Member for #EighteenthCentury is correct on this. It will be democratic failure if Labour wins large majority at #GE2024 - unless vote share way above 49%. = It is not voters at fault - but just pernicious aspect of #FPTP voting system. = We need to find way to #EradicateFPTP!

A #ProgressiveAlliance should mean MUCH MORE than just #GTTO. Need is for #WellBeingEconomy and that means nuanced voting. We must ensure that Tory #hegemony is not simply replaced by a hegemony of a different hue! We must #EradicateFPTP! Soon many will want Labour out of power.

This is VERY sad. #ElectionsAct2022 reverted Mayoral elections to #FPTP. This means only ONE vote. No second vote as previously! = Effectively vote for anyone except #Khan is vote for #Hall with consequent trauma for residents if she wins. = We must use #GE2024 to #EradicateFPTP.

> Most people said that they would vote Labour for > one simple reason – to get Cons out of power. = How sad! This is an effect of #FPTP. It encourages such short term thinking. = Need is to ensure that Cons cannot return to power - not in 2024,2029,2034 or ever! #EradicateFPTP.

> Result would make UK virtual one party state! = That is an unfortunate feature of #FPTP and why we must campaign against #hegemony of any hue. = NB: It is even worse in #LocalGovt with "slate" effect. We must #eradicateFPTP at all levels - and avoid local #fiefdoms!

#BroadChurch parties are incentivised by #FPTP. Inevitably they become fractious - as they are often united more by pursuit (and retention) of power rather than by coherent policies in the true national interest of UK residents. = No wonder electors are alienated! #EradicateFPTP.

I love idea of #ProportionalRepresentation - because it alerts people to need for #ElectoralReform and opportunity to #EradicateFPTP. Need is for #DoorstepDemand at #GE2024 - for wider reforms not just PR.

Wide variety exists of electoral systems potentially viable in UK context. It is premature to select one. That should be focus for #CitizenAssembly AFTER #GE2024 - to prepare robust report for debate in 2026/27 and then legislation to introduce BEST system for UK. #EradicateFPTP.

> Votes for any non-red party achieve only blue outcome. = That is tendency under #FPTP - which incentivises a two-party structure by rewarding the winner. = However the duopoly CAN be overturned - and has been many times. Its power can be removed for ever if we #EradicateFPTP.
Seems to be argument for: forwarddemocracy.com/swapmyvote/ LibDems in #MoorView could pair with Labour supporters in #CentralDevon to ensure that BOTH encumbents are defeated. Every little helps! We need #HoC maj to #EradicateFPTP after #GE2024. OR Could #MarkWooding win w/o Lab votes?

That claim may be true for rejoin of EU but rejoin of #EEA (via #EFTA) would be possible in first term after #GE2024 - all depends on priorities. = To have option of second term next govt must use first term to #EradicateFPTP. This CAN be done w/o hindrance to other legislation.

#Bremain overlooks that ONE particular reform is *essential*, along with rejoin of EU. = UK needs to #EradicateFPTP Unless we have #ElectoralReform there is possibility of a rightwards swing of the electoral pendulum - bringing another Cons govt in 2029 or 2034.

> bad that I want to cancel Cons for ever? = Not bad, just misguided. #Democracy needs forum for opponents to have their say - not hegemony of any hue! = If we #EradicateFPTP we can rid UK of fractious "broad church" parties and get legitimate interests of UK people into parlt.

Yet another example of how #FPTP favours largest parties - with no ideological bias! = Challenge for Labour is to resist temptation of thinking that they will always be major recipient of such largesse. = Fairness *all* time versus power one third time?? #EradicateFPTP.

Prediction still shews deficiency in #FPTP. Mainstream votes (Con+Lab) if combined could defeat #MonicaHarding but effect is wider than this one constituency. Result in #Surrey affects balance in UK parliament - multiplies distortion. = We must #eradicateFPTP (in #LocalGovt too)
