#byelections

I am watching #Newsnight and so extremely angry about how it’s all being framed. Everyone, presenter, Reform, Labour, ganging up on Greens. Then the “breaking news” of concerning levels of “family voting” - i don’t know, it sounds like a move to discredit things. #UKPolitics #Byelections #GreenParty

To everyone not in the UK: this is HISTORIC #UKPolitics #GreenParty #Byelectionshttps://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/feb/27/green-party-wins-gorton-and-denton-byelection-in-blow-to-keir-starmer?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

#UKPolitics The Gorton and Denton byelections are this Thursday, 26th February. If you live there, have previously voted #Labour and do not want #Reform to come in: voting Green and helping Hannah Spencer win is, on this occasion, the tactical vote. But it’s also a historic vote that will shift the political discourse of the country, the Overton window, towards better, fairer politics, not further away. Vote Green! Hannah is great! #GreenParty #GPEW #Byelections #gortonanddenton

RE: https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/115997676141332418 Interestingly, so far, the replies to this post have indicated wide-spread support for the proposition that switching parties should prompt a by-election.... a direct opposition to the UK's current (and established) electoral norm. Also across the replies have been some interesting suggestions about the details of the reasoning such a 'recall' vote. Once again the fediverse offers an interesting debate - thanks, and if you've not yet read the thread - enjoy #politics #byelections
