Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed

Bloke that was sacked at the 11th hour by the Tories because he sent dick pics to councillors. Standing next to the woman who gets angry when she sees black people on TV. Standing next to the bloke who posted a whole host of creepy misogyny, homophobia and hate on his deleted and suspended accounts. Reform UK is a circus.

Pete Hegseth in Normandy: Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?

We need more Labour MPs like Jonathan Hinder. As Nye Bevan once said, 'I tell you, it is the Labour Party or nothing. I know all its faults, all its dangers. But... I am by no means convinced that something cannot yet be made of it.’

It’s pretty weird Italy never developed single city syndrome. They’ve been unified for 150 years but we don’t see one breakaway city slowly sucking in all the economic activity and talent like France, the UK, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Austria, and many others.

Ramsay MacDonald on PR, in 1909: “Under proportional representation, citizens may be compelled to accept a government which their representatives had no mandate to form, and to acquiesce in a legislative policy which never had their sanction…a system of proportional representation will exaggerate rather than remove those dangers which arise from the fact that governments may not be really representative”.

PR will ensure we have a political class who well and truly are detached from the electorate. Constant blame-shifting. Office with diminished accountability.

Nonsense. Since 1945, Labour has won majorities in 9 elections. Conservatives have won majorities in 10. You are advocating for the end of majority Labour governments. There are very few other democratic systems in the world where a socialist party can secure such total control of government. You want to throw that away.

In a council like Sunderland, differential turnout led to big differences. Had Labour voters turned out at the same rate as Reform the gap would have been 8 points not 16.

A key point from the data we collected for this post is the importance of differential turnout in the local elections. Reform 2024 voters were just much more enthusiastic than those of other parties. Had it been even their percentage would have fallen into the low 20s.

New post: "Playing on difficult mode" Using data from an exclusive new mega-poll I look at how a new Labour leader can come up with a governing project that rebuilds the party's voter coalition. And I explain why Blair's strategy wouldn't work. open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/pla…

Proportional Representation will well and truly be the end of the Labour Party as we have known it. It will continue to exist in a shrunken form -- a party for some urban, university educated liberals mostly in the public or charity sectors. Never seeking majority government again. Never trying to be the broad church of the British left or a coalition of labour interests. PR will mean elites trading off policies with other elites post-election in exchange for high office.

As someone who mostly lived in countries with proportional representation in the past... guys, don't make this monumental mistake.

Yes, that is the logic of FPTP systems. There can be periods of fragmentation but eventually the system reorients itself along a dominant axis as electoral costs of fragmentation and benefits of broader party co-ordination play themselves out. See Reform v Progressive Conservatives in Canada in 90s/00s, or interwar Britain

@antoguerrera Yes because logic of FPTP is that eventually fragmented politics will coalesce within two dominant parties. This happened in the 1920s-30s. You had a couple of elections with odd results, with Con, Labour & Liberals (who themselves split in two). Then 2-party politics reemerged.
