@ProfMarkElliott @davidallengreen The only possible response to slide towards authoritarianism is for us all to mobilise our personal status and that of institutions we belong to for effective resistance

I see that you have done that as has CoE over the Rwanda policy and many others

I’m very glad to see this

RT @SteveHyndside: Under First Past The Post Rishi would now just be PM even though it’s obvious that he got only a tiny % of votes.

Curious that Tories inflict this system on us at General Elections but then don’t use it themselves for their internal elections.

RT @ChrisWeybridge: Have you noticed that the Conservatives who say the ‘First Past The Post’ voting system is fair, don’t use it for the election of their leader?

Why can’t my vote for Green Party candidate in General or Local Election be reallocated to my next choice?

RT @carla_denyer: 3 Tory leadership hopefuls with links to climate deniers @GWPF_org, and some very worrying narratives emerging that suggest ALL the candidates are willing to sacrifice the climate commitments they were elected on in 2019.

RT @AdrianRamsay: Joined up policy on buses? It would be nice.

The temporary £2 cap on single fares is welcome but must come with fresh funding and powers for councils.

It’s no good having cheap fares for buses that don’t exist.

And the price cap should be permanent.

RT @natalieben: My letter @guardian

The UK, with archaic, dysfunctional, unwritten constitution – accumulated by centuries of historical accident & relying on its leaders being “good chaps” – was sitting open to a Boris Johnson.

And remains so

Another example of Johnson regime breaking democratic conventions

This a dangerous one because our system relies on power of opposition as essential check against tyranny

Good to see John Major identifying clearly the risks to democracy from the present Conservative Party

We urgently need a written constitution and clear and enforceable standards for those in public life to protect our democracy

RT @AdrianRamsay: Stark warning from Govt's own agency: a thriving natural environment is fundamental for human wellbeing & survival.

Successive govts have ignored warnings for 60 years.

Urgent action needed to rejuvenate the natural world can't be delayed any longer.

RT @ProfMarkElliott: I find this concerning, since it undermines the constitutional principle that the Government must be able to command the confidence of the House of Commons: a principle that requires the Opposition, when appropriate, to be able to test that confidence via a vote. /1

RT @ZackPolanski: Dominic Raab is talking about 'the threat' of electoral reform.

Proportional Representation terrifies Tories because people will have an actual vote that always counts.

Our Parliament can amplify voices of the people rather than vested interests.

An actual democracy.
