It’s good sure, but if only they put so much work into reforming fptp voting…
There was a vote in 2011 to change the voting system that the idiots of the UK voted against changing. I was a kid then and that was the first time I voted but even as someone who has almost zero interest in politics I could see that moving away from fptp was the (what I thought) obvious choice.
Apparently not.
After the absolute farce that was brexit as well I don’t believe the the population of the UK are able to make a good decision that benefits the country and general populace. The majority of the population aren’t able to employ critical thinking and are just easily lead towards shitty decisions.
I don’t believe that even if we did get another vote to change this terrible system that it would actually pass unfortunately. I have no faith in the ability of this population to make good decisions.

But… but… democracy!

Far beyond time for this to be in the bin, I think there is one other country in the world that allows it. Hopefully the day will come when renters are placed on the same footing too, even if its clearly not going to be any time soon.
Also on Groves reforms just happening to include ways for landowners to undermine the entire system while superficially looking good, thats not some accident.
Can someone explain to me how being a leaseholder is different than being a renter (I’m an American)?
Its technically the same as renting, but there’s a lot of stupid historical reasons that make it awkward. You could be a leaseholder with a 1000 year contract costing a few pennies per year. Which makes you, for all intents and purposes, an owner of the property.
