How to defeat populism
RT @MaryPeltola: We've never had someone like me represent Alaska in Congress because, frankly, candidates need wealthy connections to keep their campaigns funded. Let's change that.

First past the post voting systems and primaries only bring the worst in candidates and the worst of winning candidates.
Proportional voting systems with transferable vote gets rid of extremists politicians with extreme views right from candidate selection point.

RT @JCWI_UK: Priti Patel misled parliament on people crossing the channel - but she *refuses* to apologise or correct the parliamentary record.
Her cruel anti-refugee policies are built on a foundation of shameless & malicious lies.

There’s no limits to the populism of the Conservatives and Unionists. While small and medium businesses shut their doors and families can’t pay their energy bills, they tell you to go on a motorway and speed…

@pressjournal An impossible task, an inimaginable increase, unworkable, impossible to pay and for us all across the UK!
Businesses are closing down every day, families have no idea how they would be able to pay any of this, it should be on the front page of all newspapers 7 days a week.

@Bruce_Adamson @Fionasstalker @BBCRadioScot And again, there’s only one level of government responsible for this, Westminster. You’re asking others to take accountability for one level of government’s political decision to sit on their hands.

@Bruce_Adamson @Fionasstalker @BBCRadioScot Every time I hear in the media the line “failure of government at all levels”, I know what it means, Westminster is again getting away with it.
A dereliction of duty from a government refusing to act while everyone else shares the blame. This is unsustainable and needs to stop.
