❓If the government admits that First Past the Post is unsuitable for mayoral elections, why does it intend to keep it in place for general elections?
Thank you, Sarah Olney MP, for raising this issue in Parliament.
Whatever the election, FPTP is not fit for purpose. It must be replaced.

Some €180 billion per year is the cost for the EU of not implementing environmental laws. That is 1% of our GDP.
The fourth Environmental Implementation Review shows that better implementation helps us save money and protect our environment.

Left unchecked, hate speech fuels conflict and sows division. It can threaten peace and human rights.

It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

Well done to all those that campaigned for this & never gave up.
This legal change about loss of voting rights, & the disenfranchisement of Brits in EU post Brexit, has been going on for several years.
Now a Briton has won right to be on EU electoral roll in historic French court ruling.
The order is the first of its kind since Brexit & could set a precedent
