“A new website has sprung up to stop Reform’s rise at the local elections”

by The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour

“The website’s Take Action page lists a variety of ways that people can get active. For anyone who has a local, mayoral or by-election coming up on 1st May, an important first action is to make a tactical vote for the best placed candidate to beat the Reform candidate”

Canary · A new website has sprung up to stop Reform's rise at the local electionsIt is clear Labour is a disaster, but it's also clear that first, the rise of the far right must be quashed - hence Stop Reform

New paper out.

What happens when you make a model that includes realistic details about how people discuss ideas and decide how to act upon them? The answer is that with just 3 such elements of realism, one can mathematically explain the emergence of commonly observed situations, such as reaching a consensus and exchanging opinions, but also the separation of ideologies and the appearance of stable polarization. Not only this, but one can also account for phenomena such as peer pressure, cognitive dissonance, tactical voting and toxic idealism ( @benroyce I told you I was going to do it 😀 ) and prove how they affect the final state of the system.

This election has indeed highlighted the urgent need for electoral reform. Switching from FPTP to a multi-member STV system would ensure that every vote counts and make tactical voting unnecessary. It's high time we move towards a fairer, more representative system that truly reflects the will of the people. Let's continue to push for Proportional Representation and make our voices heard. #ElectionLessons #MidBucksPrimary #TacticalVoting #VoteTogether #MidBuck buff.ly/3JPP44z

I've just signed this petition from the Electoral Reform Society to change the voting system in the UK to be fairer and more representative:

Yes, we had a chance at this with a referendum in 2011, but that just means it's time to bring this up again.

Especially in light of the rise of smaller parties, and some independent candidates, in the 2024 #GeneralElectionUK it's high time voters had a better guarantee of proper representation.
