Because the #LabourParty wants you to know how much they love empire & hate #HumanRights just like the #Tories, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1948 they blocked implementation of #UniversalSuffrage for adults in #Bermuda and upheld racial #segregation in schools & public services there.

No-one should be disenfranchised. Ever. This is worse than the UK's system, but even we do it, albeit temporarily. #UniversalSuffrage #democracy

Yet another thread of people with loads of ideas about fixing our democracy without a single one calling for #universalsuffrage.

Our discourse around #democracy is empty when no-one even thinks to mention that many people in this country aren't allowed to vote.

Seriously, if you oppose the franchise for a group of people because of how they vote, then you are a #fascist. Full stop.

Aside from that arduous process, maybe you should consider the fact that the SCOTUS gutted section 5 of the Voting Rights Act and that we are in the midst of a massive voter suppression campaign that the Republicans are pursuing, before you blame the folks who did not vote…
