Hero Of The Week - Carol Vorderman On Kicking The Tories Out!

[@Veeger]

I live on the isle of Wight where tory voters come to retire. My vote is thrown away EVERY ELECTION because the incoming retired outnumber everyone else. I am sick of non representation. PR is the future us voters need. MP's don't want it, all the more reason to have it! GET THE TORIES OUT NOW!

[@Notalloldpeople]

Another advantage is that PR would improve the standard of candidates for all parties..

[@Veeger]

PR be careful what you wish for because you might get something totally unexpected

[@oliverraven]

At least you're getting two MPs on the island next time. You never know, one of the constituencies might not go blue.

[@Cam-mo7gq]

@davebaker8362 No actually. Yes Reform would get a few MPs, but so would the Greens, but more important is centrists like the Lib Dems would have considerably more MPs, thus the balance shifts to the centre. All the highest functioning governments world wide have a form of PR. Not an opinion, a statistical reality. For those saying "but the Netherlands" Wilders may have the most seats there, but he's unlikely to be able to form a government, and even if he can, the concessions he'll have to make to do so will essentially hobble him. Besides, fptp has consistently shown itself to be unfit for purpose.

[@GoalSquad666]

I moved to Scotland nearly 20yrs ago, and for years I didn't voted, I just watched and learn the difference between Scotland and England and looked into each political party. I then decided to support SNP, however, since 2016 I haven't voted. The last time I voted was for the Scottish referendum and this dumbasses voted to stay in the UK despite knowing that they will be ripped out of the EU by the English a few years later. I, as an immigrant could see that! Then, of course coming from an EU country, I, despite paying my taxes, being forced to do jury duty - what I despise, wasn't allowed to vote in the EU referendum. Looking how things progress and considering right now I'm lucky working on a 18 month project where I get paid very well, 2025 is pretty much the definite year I will leave the UK.

[@runlarryrun77]

A few years back I told a friend, an older gentleman, that the tories were embezzling money from public companies. He acted like I'd insulted his dead mother & stormed out of the pub. There was a similar incident with the same guy in the same pub at around that time regarding his very pro Brexit views. A few years down the road, tories have been caught with their hands in the till & it's becoming increasingly clear that Brexit is a dead parrot. I don't understand why it has to be a perceived authority figure making these claims before people will listen. All you've got to do is look at the evidence & connect the dots, but I suppose then they'd have to admit they were wrong. About all sorts of things. Something about celebrity status seems to shock some people out of their echo chambers & start to listen I guess.

Carol is such a breath of fresh air. I have been saying it for years, electoral reform should be our highest priority. It would engage people in politics and put an end to the pantomime that we currently have.

[@DerekHarrison-ue9vv]

Agreed.I’d love to see the likes of Carol Vorderman and Mick Lynch in the Labour Party, fighting against the Tories. I Was saddened and shocked by Keir Starmer crediting Margaret Thatcher as a leader who effected ‘MEANINGFUL CHANGE’ in the Sunday Telegraph.Has that IDIOT forgotten the damage she caused to industrial communities such as mining communities? These sort of comments are why there are people who won’t vote Labour because the believe Starmer is ‘TORY LITE’! Your trying to garner votes as an opposition leader, and you come out PRAISING THATCHER! UNBELIEVABLE!!!😾

[@yorkiegilly4355]

@yorkshirelad 1050 If you look into how electoral reform is doing in the countries that use it you will be surprised how badly they use it . Dozens of different parties fighting like two cats in a bag for weeks & sometimes months ,trying to get laws through their books ,can you imagine that here ,our politics are bad enough without all the pain involved in that mess ?. And as for Vorderman - she was a rabid Tory ,until she thought the Labour party would put her on a clearer track to a Damehood or a bigger part in Labour"s day to day affairs - like Lineker just another attention seeker after a career downturn ?.

FPTP is simply undemocratic because not all votes are equal.

[@scooby1992]

@@davidmcculloch8490 Exactly , in so many seats a vote for any other party other than the incumbent is wasted. If I needed any other reason to support PR it was when the tories scrapped the election of Mayors and Police and Crime Commissioners from being under an AV system to back under FPTP . there is only one reason they have done this and that is because there are generally ( Reform aside ) two or three different parties of the centre and left fighting each other for many of the same voters where as the tories by and large have the right wing vote sown up . The biggest fear I have is over the vote for Mayor of London , a predominantly left leaning , progressive city . The voters from centre and left have a choice between Sadiq Khan for Labour , the Greens and Lib Dems . If George Galloway and or Jeremy Corbyn stand as left wing independents it complicates matters further and could see the diabolical Tory Candidate Susan Hall win with as little as 30% of the vote .

I have a lot of respect for Carol vorderman she is one of a very few celebrities that actually cares about the people and not just themselves......

[@marloncole]

I was first able to vote in 1979, and have voted in every GE since. In my life I’ve moved around a lot, and in every GE I’ve found myself in a “safe seat” one way or the other. Therefore, not once has my vote actually mattered. Not once. And the same for the majority of people in this country, while the decision on the future of the country is determined by a couple of hundred thousand people who happen to live in “swing seats”, rather than the millions who don’t. That doesn’t sound like a functional democracy to me.

[@Cam-mo7gq]

​@@jimporterthere was actually a point where FPTP favoured labour more. I was reading about it a while back. Based on the demographics and the layout of seats. But yeah overall it doesn't benefit them because the electorate are actually consistently majority left of the Tories but those votes are split between labour and lib Dems. The proper loony Tories don't have another right wing party to vote for so they win more often.

[@RealConstructor]

I live in The Netherlands and we have proportional representation, and I can tell you that PR isn’t utopia, although preferable to FPTP. We just voted in the national elections and we had 26 parties to choose from. The ballot paper is bigger than the ballot booth, unfolding and folding back the ballot paper takes more time than filling the box in front of the right candidate with the red pencil. We elected 15 parties in the Second Chamber of parliament. Forming a coalition government is a lengthy process because of that. I think a mix of both systems is a better system.

Two caveats regarding PR. Firstly, the Labour Party has always opposed it and has to be brought on board to support it. Secondly, the form of PR that is adopted need to be explained clearly to the electorate and needs to be a form of PR that really ensures every vote counts. Last time 10 years ago, when the Lib Dems tried to introduce PR, it was such a bad form of PR and so poorly presented and explained that the electorate rejected it.

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Labour need to stop being pricks to the other parties on the same side of the politican spectrum as them.

I want to get rid of the Tories, and I would definitely vote tactically to get rid of the twat in my constituency, but Labour just keep finding ways to make it difficult for me to morally make that choice.

[@DerekHarrison-ue9vv]

Completely agree with you.They should be getting the likes of the Lib Dem’s, the SNP, the Greens and the rest on side to oust the Tories.I’m afraid the problem is the leader,Keir Starmer.He made a comment in todays Sunday Telegraph, crediting Margaret Thatcher as a leader who effected ‘MEANINGFUL CHANGE’. What is Starmer trying to do when he praises Thatcher...DRIVE AWAY POTENTIAL LABOUR VOTERS?! This is the reason why people don’t trust him, and say he’s ‘TORY LITE’.

Carol is a champion for ordinary people. I am Scottish and would always vote for my country but I hope the English listen to her. It’s time to get rid of these toxic tortes once and for all…. They have ruined the country in so many ways with their greed and corruption.

Carol is doing a fabulous job but she needs help from those in a position to help rid us of these toxic Tories.
