Question to Kier Starmer: Should that not have read “the change that 20% of the British Electorate voted for?”
As Prime Minister, you promised, prior to the election, to be open and transparent. Thus, is it not appropriate for you to acknowledge that you were not elected with overwhelming support from the nation’s voters? The British people had had enough of the Conservative Party’s lies, which is why you were elected by a MINORITY of the country’s voters and received so many MPs. In a sense, everything came together for you.
Had there been a better electoral system (one that you yourself championed in 2020) you would not have had the number of MPs you have now!
In 2020, you said, “We do need a constitutional convention. One of the most powerful things coming out of the referendum was the sense that people want decisions to be made closer to them and by them. It was a very, very powerful thing… I think that’s a very powerful message, it’s a socialist message and it’s a Labour message about power coming from bottom up, not top down.
“I also think on electoral reform, we’ve got to address the fact that millions of people vote in safe seats and they feel their vote doesn’t count. That’s got to be addressed. We will never get full participation in our electoral system until we do that at every level.”
