Let's be clever and vote together
A fair & transparent way to choose one progressive candidate to unite behind at the next general election, and stop the Conservatives winning on a minority vote.

Our current voting system, First Past The Post, is failing to accurately represent the will of the people. We must demand a fairer and more representative system that truly reflects the voices of all voters, regardless of their political affiliation. www.midbucksprimary.org

My verdict on the 'woke' review of England's school curriculum? It isn't radical enough | Simon Jenkins
