You have a valid point about how unrepresentative British democracy is. I believe PR is the only way forward. The Lib Dems used to be vocally in favor of PR but it's not even mentioned as a constitutional reform in their 2024 manifesto. Meanwhile, I think we need to start closer to home. Let's begin here in the US by demanding the end of the electoral college to elect the President, who should be elected on the basis of a majority vote. Furthermore, let's take national elections out of state control altogether and have an appointed committee with representation from all political parties overseeing federal elections.

You're always thinking. Thank you. Class action could keep focus on a movement.

Democracy's not a guaranteed cure for anything but anti-democracy is like starting a foot race with spikes through your feet deep into the earth while the corporatists at a minimum have roller blades - maybe Ferraris.
