Time to make all votes equal. #ProportionalRepresentation long overdue
The Equal Votes Walkers -from Grasmere to Preston were arriving in Lancaster today. Follow @MvmNorthLancs for updates
RT @MvmNorthLancs: EQUAL VOTES WALK
We're following the route of the 1913 suffragists' "Pilgrimage". They were successful, and now we want everybody's vote to count equally, wherever it is cast.
For this we need #ProportionalRepresentation.

RT @GreenPartyJack: A Universal Basic Income is one of the policies that drew me to the Green Party. An idea whose time came several years ago, and is urgently needed in a cost of living crisis.
Excellent interview with @LaurenJamesWGP on what brought her into politics.

RT @TheGreenParty: 💬 “It’s bone-headedly stupid, even by this government’s low standards, not only to allow but in fact to incentivise the production of new climate-wrecking fossil fuels”

RT @John_Whitelegg: I have just checked flight+train costs for a return trip (Aberdeen-London) for early June (not for me). Why is the return air fare £150 (Easyjet) and £377 (1st class train)? We will not decarbonise transport with these disparities @F_I_Transport @JohnJohnStewart

RT @AdamWJT: “The Greens’ vote has increased nationally by 1.9% to 12.3%—a result of voters flocking to the party because of its strong commitment to climate action and its alternative economic policy.”

RT @John_Whitelegg: Brilliant and so much more intelligent than anything on offer in England. It eases cost of living + helps to reduce transport carbon (car trips replaced by public transport).

RT @MartinSLewis: Dear @Ofgem & @KwasiKwarteng. Pls reverse the recent burden shift to the standing charge (rather than unit rates) for the next price cap.
It was regressive & means cutting usage has less impact on bills. Even those using NO energy now pay £165/yr for electricity, £99 for gas.
