Would make voting mandatory for over the 16s but only if they have completed an online study on the constitution and role of MPs (a driving test for voting). All ballot papers to include a 'None of the Above Option' & Single Transferable Vote. Time for all Brits to understand their role in democracy

🌹 Labour's official policy recognises that First Past the Post is "flawed" and driving "distrust & alienation" in politics

⚠️ Now, multi-party politics is colliding with a 2-party system - and inaction is becoming untenable

First past the post is dangerous in multi party politics.
📊 There’s a growing realisation in Britain that multi-party politics is colliding with a broken, 2-party voting system

⚠️ And that this risks producing random results, more chaos & more distrust

The public know this - and here’s just some of the media commentary

Thank you @philmoorhouse.bsky.social
Never have I been so angry.
Let’s remember every MP (Tory and Labour) who voted for this; let’s remember everyone who voted for it too.
In many people’s eyes they’ll be responsible for the deaths of many of our loved ones.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat
The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

A majority of Britons would rather have a closer trading relationship with the EU than the US.
The poll, carried out by YouGov, found that 57% of Britons would rather have a closer trading relationship with the EU, compared to 16% who would rather have the US as a closer trading partner.

With a protectionist President in the White House, it seems the British public would rather prefer closer trading ties with the EU.

I saw folks protesting at my local Tesla service center. Right on ✊🏾

I’m convinced unelected co-president Elon Musk is going to devolve the United States government into a version of what Tesla has become. Hear me out.
