Andy Burnham: People can only be equal when their votes are equal. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham calls for the new Labour government to ditch FPTP voting, and give us Proportional Representation. #Lab23

Watch with Subtitles here:

@AndyBurnhamGM The Tories get in and immediately start stripping the lead off the roof. Then Labour get in and repair the roof. Then the Tories get back in and there goes the lead again. We (the people) are effectively just investing in making Tories richer. Wake up Labour! You are failing us!

@AndyBurnhamGM Yes. A no brainer. Nothing will change until we have democracy, which we currently do not.

@AndyBurnhamGM Absolutely crucial otherwise this s/shower will be back

@AndyBurnhamGM As a German, I think a German style UK electoral and regional system would not be a bad idea. It's not a surprise that German cities all have better transportation systems than those of similar size in the UK.

@AndyBurnhamGM Yeah like that’s gonna happen. Starmer is going to win because of the current system so he isn’t going to change a thing

@AndyBurnhamGM You can't trust Labour to deliver PR ever. They want it when they are in opposition. When they get elected they don't want it anymore. They believe more in power than democracy

@AndyBurnhamGM Hey @AndyBurnhamGM, nice to see you finally catching up to what many of us have been saying for years. 🤷‍♂️🗳️ Maybe if Labour had pushed for Proportional Representation earlier, we wouldn't be stuck with this mess. #BetterLateThanNever #PRNow #Lab23 🙄🙄

@AndyBurnhamGM Like they’ve been promising to abolish the House of Lords for the last 100 years! I’ll believe it when I see it!
