I invite all my followers here to consider following European Movement Mid Kent (@emmidkent.bsky.social).
I am a single individual; it would be great if you could follow our regional group (as well!)
In this way, we can, perhaps, grow our numbers.
Please think about it.

"The electoral system is at breaking point."
- argued @alexsobel.co.uk, Chair of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, on
@iaindale.bsky.social show.
In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy.

💥 For a new report, @demos-uk.bsky.social interviewed 700+ teenagers.
72.8% agreed: democracy must be defended at all costs. But many weren't happy with the way it currently works.
"Change the voting system" was proposed as one of the solutions. We agree.

Last month marked the centenary of Margaret Thatcher’s birth. In my latest Substack post, I argue that progressives, and not just her fans, have much to learn from her electoral victories

We deserve better than governments that 2/3 of the public voted against, or MPs that 3/4 of their constituents didn't choose.
We deserve better than to be ignored over and over again, because of where we live or who we support.
We all deserve better than First Past the Post.
