Make Votes Matter @makevotesmatter.bsky.social · 1d

Under First Past the Post, an extreme, even anti-democratic party can take full power on a fraction of the vote - without the consent of the majority.

In these troubled times, we shouldn't take our rights and freedoms for granted.

That's another reason why we need Proportional Representation.

Hello America & Canada, it’s publication day for This Slavery!

It’s the story of two sisters living in 1910s UK who work in cotton weaving factories. It’s about women’s place in industrial capitalism, and how marriage can be about power & control.

It’s also an inch-thick comic with a dog in it

@paraorchestra.bsky.social sounds ethereal in the Cow and Calf quarry.
We had a beautiful morning listening to them, then singing on up over Ilkley Moor.
Part of #TheBradfordProgress with Charles Hazlewood, Jeremy Deller and the people of Bradford.

Well it was the earliest start of the year and the year's best weekend. Join the start of Bradford Progress with the beautiful Paraorchestra (that voice!) and the enthusiasm of @commonerschoir.bsky.social as we began the march over Ilkley Moor. From Handel to True North. youtu.be/TMvDrNggZ04?...
