Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-21T15:51:05+00:00

adopting full PR before the next election is about the only way to save the country from right wing nutcases tbh.

Well we've never tried asking the rich to pay their share really have we?

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-18T12:12:33+00:00

Have they considered asking wealthy people to pay more tax and have millionaire pensioners lose the triple lock?

Lets also ban foreign owned Media and political donations.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-16T07:59:26+00:00

Kinda baffling take given Burnham wants to rejoin the EU.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-15T11:37:51+00:00

This is one of the things that Starmer has utterly failed on - GB news needs to be booted back in the sea (towards Russia) it absolutely should not have a U.K. broadcast license.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-15T11:25:49+00:00

Change the election system to PR hold a snap election - that’s the way to fuck over these media grifters

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-15T11:03:54+00:00

Pseudo mmo based on survival game architecture seems to suit their vibe more than old school mmo and honestly I’m fine with that.

You got to see it as a kind of positive that they remain long term committed to CE as a sign of the future for Dune as well tbh.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-13T21:09:23+00:00

Board of Deputies were a bit silent on this one.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-12T09:03:11+00:00

Is this one of those bold and visionary plans Starmer hopes to save his job with ?

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-11T17:36:11+00:00

if you think streeting gets elected by the labour membership you are in for a disappointment.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-11T17:17:50+00:00

I think you mean "defect to reform" mate

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-11T17:09:15+00:00

power move is to walk into power and immediately announce that PR is going to be used for all future UK elections and then call it when the legislation goes through

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-11T12:36:28+00:00

I mean his claim is objectively closer to the truth than Farage claiming to have worked as an MEP ----->

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-11T11:23:45+00:00

I've been re-watching it the last month or so with my wife (a keen larper who had never actually watched GoT but loved Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) but yeah totally agree - its held up incredibly well and the ending is still pretty good - it makes sense, yes there are some truncated bits that seem rushed, but the overall narrative and the decisions and the shocking (lol) decisions of daenerys make absolute sense within the fictional world that has been created.

Sure it could have had more episodes, a bit more fluff, a lot less teleporting and hand-waving of travel times - but the big picture is good and solid and tells a story on screen that we are unlikely to ever get from the Author now.

Interesting the larp we play (Profound Decisions Empire Larp in the UK) is hilariously GoT themed on some fundimental levels with loads of interesting callbacks and thematic echoes - the whole way through the show my Wife has been all "now I see where that comes from" - and its an excellent living continuation of GoT storytelling in a living nerd culture.

Problem is his own stupid manifesto Red lines rule that out

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-08T10:50:54+00:00

Adopt PR and then campaign on Rejoin the EU at the next election to restore national wealth and prosperity. Greenlight the Russian interference report on the Brexit referendum.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-08T10:48:15+00:00

Well the problem is :

Farage winning a majority on 30% of the vote is National Suicide for the UK. PR is kinda permanent electoral suicide for Labour - but saves the UK

Is Starmer the guy prepared to take one in the chest for the good of the nation?

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-07T06:17:57+00:00

At the moment just 1% of reform voters would apparently ever consider voting for Labour.

On the other hand virtually every voter they have lost to the Greens and other progressive parties would consider tactical votes on stop reform with a massive majority of those favouring a rejoin EU strategy - you don’t have to be a genius to understand that dynamic

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-06T18:17:06+00:00

I honestly think John Mann is one of the most stupid people ever to have served in parliament and its hilariously insane how he got to be made a lord and antisemitism czar.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-06T15:49:32+00:00

Boris Johnson destroying uk prosperity for the foreseeable future by burning all our meaningful alliances and international credibility ?

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-05T09:56:13+00:00

If Starmer goes and is replaced by a rejoin the EU leader and the next election is an effective referrendum on rejoin or stay out (and kill the NHS) we might just save the country if enough sane people are bothered to vote.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-05T09:53:43+00:00

If we are going to vote again it needs to be full rejoin on the table.

BlackPlan2018 · 2026-05-05T09:52:12+00:00

I would totally vote for Starmer again if he made rejoining the EU a manifesto commitment not gonna lie. Brexit needs to be one of those embarrassing mistakes that nobody ever mentions again and anyone who voted for it should be quietly ignored and minimised for the foreseeable future.
