A projection of how the election results would look if we used Additional Member System (AMS), like in Scotland and Wales.

New Zealand switched from FPTP to MMP despite the encumbant parties being like that.

It took years of organising and effort. History here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Reform_Coalition

The vibe in UK reminds me of NZ in the late 80s. It can be done when people really want it.

I think you give us to much credit 😉. This is the UK. We have an unlimited talent for fucking things up.

UK Politics

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
