It’s time the Conservatives stopped taking us for granted
Opposition to our chaotic Government is fragmented. Under our broken voting system, the largest party in each constituency wins, and all other votes are ignored. This reckless Government will limp from crisis to crisis until we work together.
During the 2019 election 1 million votes put the following number of MP's into Parliament:
1 million votes cast = 26 Conservative MPs
1 million votes cast = 20 Labour MPs
1 million votes cast = 3 Lib Dem MPs
1 million votes cast = 1 Green MP
Our voting system was developed in the days of just two parties. It is no longer fit for purpose in today’s multi-party world. It gives 100% of the power to the party with the most votes, even when that’s less than half. Some MPs are voted in on as little as 30%. Safe seats breed unaccountability. Incumbants often feel entitled to their power and use it to benefit their supporters rather than their constituents.
It's time to rebuild trust. That is why we need a change from the Conservative party in this constituency.
Collapse of Integrity
Lying, corruption and disregard for the law has become normalised. The UK’s reputation abroad is being trashed, our democratic institutions diminished.
Economic Incompetence
The mini budget sent debt spiralling, exports have collapsed and taxes for the super wealthy continue to be cut. Our farmers are threatened with cheap imports and £ billions have been wasted.
Not doing enough for the environment
Failing dismally to tackle climate change and end our dangerous reliance on oil giants. England is the 7th most nature-depleted nation in the world but the Conservatives are just not doing enough to protect nature. They have allowed water companies to dump raw sewage in our rivers until 2050.
Career before constituents
Our Conservative MP has been promoted to PPS, the first rung of the ministerial ladder. That meant accepting a rule that if he even speaks out against the Government, he will lose his job. It really doesn't feel like he's working for us.
