Electoral reform is called for if you are not liking the prospect of “paper candidates”. It just reflects the stupidity of the current first past the post system which doesn’t deliver fairness for voters.

Over 100 seats hadn’t changed hands for 100 years or more in 2024.
My constituency hasn't changed hands since before I was born (1970) - how about yours?

I hope that Labour are thoroughly ashamed of themselves this morning. They tried the same lie in Caerphilly where Plaid Cymru won. No one should believe these sort of claims ever again. Of course, what's really needed is PR, so that this ridiculous game playing stops. #MakeVotesMatter

#ProportionalRepresentation would end the need for tactical voting

Lots of of good stuff, except whether the vote will actually count - #makevotesmatter

Removing Fist Past The Post is essential to saving UK democracy and preventing another takeover of the far right who only serve the interests of the mega rich and not working people

It was tactical voting unfortunately, not a landslide, cause we've a rigged & broken 2 party electoral system; First Past The Post!
Electoral system reform is required urgently NOW!
Or the UK may suffer for decades from just 1 ReformUK (company limited by guarantee) government?
