I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

For 86 days, Azovstal defenders held the line in the last fortress of Ukrainian defense in Mariupol. Between May 16-20, they began their retreat. Over 2,500 of them were taken in russian captivity. Many still endure it. Never forget Azovstal defenders.

The Economist estimates that russia has captured just 0.04% of Ukraine’s territory this year. At this pace, it would take russia approximately 2,500 years to achieve its original objective.

In Havering, Reform won 71% of the seats on 36% vote share. In Ealing, Labour won 66% of the seats on 30% of votes. In Westminster, the Tories won 59% of the seats on 35% of the vote. In Sutton, 44% of the vote gave the Lib Dems 93% of the seats. Under FPTP, whoever wins, the voters lose.

Add Wandsworth to the list of progressive tragedies. Progressives cast 60% of the vote, yet Tories are 1 councillor short of a majority of seats. First Past The Post is warping democratic mandates all over the country. The voting system has to change.
