Graham Simpson @grahambs.bsky.social · 6hMuch of what Burnham is proposing has been @libdems.org.uk policy for years. A progressive alliance now and after the next election is needed to make sure it is all carried out. 7335
Richard M. @mat70x.bsky.social · 6hThe best way to bring that alliance together is #ElectoralReform ... but recent events at Green Party would currently be a bit of a problem! 020
JoJaSciPo @strangetruther.bsky.social · 5hLabour won't need any alliance after the next election (still first past the post) since the right will be so terribly split it won't even matter that the Greens will be splitting the left. 000
Peter @peterold.bsky.social · 5hThe political party system is the main obstacle here. Too often, the factional interests of political parties prevent the achievement of the bigger goal. The appeal should be directed at the electorate, not the parties’ hierarchies. 010
Graham Simpson @grahambs.bsky.social · 4hSo much is possible now, Europe, electoral and constitutional reform, social care, devolution and much more. We can’t let petty party politics get in the way of working together for a better society. @andyburnham.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk show us the new politics. #ProgressiveAlliance 061
Lee 🇪🇺 UK @tastyburger.bsky.social · 29mI do wish the LibDems gained more traction, so much more grounded in reality than the Greens. A progressive alliance between Lab / Lib seems possible inc. Greens if the sensible part can prevail. 000
