4 million votes and 5 seats is outrageous!
Cry harder!
It is, but 98 second place, the people are behind reform after four weeks of Farage. Nigel, Richard and Lee in parliament will make a shift. I hope they sort out their constituency’s and everyone will be begging for a reform MP. The few, want the top two and most voted to get Tories out and kier got less votes than corbyn. The revolt is on, it’s a win 😊. Let’s go. 😊
Haha. Good, GOOD.

I'm the only way.
If i was Nigel, I'd keep a very, very close eye on Tice... I get the feeling that he'd sell his grandmother for a Knighthood and a cushy position.
Ahahaha. Reform didn't even cut into the Tories' vote, never mind Labour's.

We lost faith in the democratic system, is one of the many reasons why we support REFORM. Reform has done amazingly well.
I'm proud of what we achieved 🇬🇧
in just a month. It’s pretty amazing. Still upset how unfair that is but we’ve got to take what we can 👀

Voted Reform even though I knew they wouldn't win in my constituency. Voted with my heart and brain. The revolt has begun.🎉
So did I m8.. Our reform guy had 7730 votes, so I'm happy that I wasn't alone..
Next time, he'll have more..
Same.
kevin. Your vote is never in vain because it shows opposition to the `establishment,` and that you broadly agree with the declarations in the Reform `contract.` Therefore numerous votes along those lines tell those in power they need to address those areas of life, or quickly become unpopular.
Same here .
Same
Whichever Party you love or hate you know full well in your heart that 4 million votes producing 5 MPs is an out and out injustice!
Well said the system is unfair and undemocratic
Woulda been 4million and 1if we'd had a reform candidate I my constituency

THE LORDS NEEDS TO GO, ITS CORRUPT ,
i agree it needs to go
No they need to be elected by the people not appointed by political mates. The Lords has a crucial function to debate government policies and to make changes that benefit the people before those policies become law. Without the Lords the government can enact policies with no push back from anyone. If elected they can be wiped out if they don't do a good job. Appointed they're beyond the reach of the voting public but voting them in ends ex PM's and political mates becoming Lords because the only way to become a Lord is to be voted in by the people in a general election.

Labour get a 1.6% vote increase resulting in an extra 211 seats. This is the main reason for such a low turnout. If you want higher turnouts and more public engagement then the electoral system must change to proportional representation.
God no.

You can only ever get the party head office choice, and they will have nothing to do with you or your area.
They can never be held to account or recalled, only the party could do that, and you could never choose to vote for someone else if the person the party chooses to give you is scum.

When you think of the number of people who died for us in the Second World War in order to preserve and protect democracy and then to have such an undemocratic system prevail in this country is simply disgusting and an offence to all those brave military personnel.
That undemocratic system has worked for hundreds of years. Each constituency elects an MP. That’s it. Reform have started small but they will build on this in the places they came 2nd and they will grow.
PR can never give you a representative. You will never be able to choose your MP.
Only the party head office could choose and they have nothing to do with you or your local area.
You'll never be able to recall your MP, or even choose not to vote for them if they are terrible, only the party can do that.

It just shows what an unfair electoral system we have and now Labour have a massive majority they will have the mandate to push through whatever they want to , it’s frightening
The only REAL question about reforming our electoral system (unless you're living in the Age of the Dinosaurs) is WHICH PR system to choose. The current 'Plurality' system has surely had its day. In my constituency, for example, the local Tory candidate and sitting MP received just 40% of the vote - which means, of course, that 60% voted AGAINST here (a similar percentage to those Germans voting against Hitler in 1933) - which doesn't seem terribly fair, somehow. If we had an Alternative Vote system, we'd probably have a higher turnout, with more people thinking their vote 'counted'. The fact that Reform, for example, had to 'pay' *800,000* votes per seat, whereas Labour needed only 23,605 (a generous 'discount' of 97%) alone demonstrates that the system is now as rotten as the 'Rotten Boroughs' of the past. Reform urgently needed!
We need a republic, vote for your local MP and a separate vote for the PM.
Can’t change the voting system till you get rid of the House Of Lords.
👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Yes given millions instead of put on trial.
If Labour reduces the voting age to 16 year olds, then they need to increase the salaries, because I think it grossly unfair, that a 16 year old can do the same job as a 25 year old and be paid £2 - £4 less per hour. I'm referring to low skilled and unskilled jobs here. I've come across many teenagers helping support their families financially or having to pay for themselves because they have rent and living expenses. These salaries need to be equal for all ages. In retail, I've witnessed young people on low salaries (below the living wage) take on more responsibility than older people. Labour needs to address this if they are, as they claim, a party for the working class and they want that teen vote.
Yes, a very simple and easy reform would be to simply allocate the seats in the House of Lords in proportion to the general election result. It could be done now. Why not?
be careful what you wish for. PR is a route for islamist in parliament.
Not if we STOP people from the Medieval Death Cult entering the country and ensure that Sharia brides here, (not the real /legal wife), get NO child benefits nor any housing benefit!
So is first past the post
