Tonight at 11:59pm 2nd August 2021 the Boundary Commission will CLOSE their consultation on Parliamentary constituency boundaries. Once again, the Government is fiddling with the electoral boundaries in Sussex. This is because of the 'First Past The Post' (FPTP) voting system. I have written to the Commission (which is made up of only 3 people, all appointed by the Government) to oppose the boundary changes where I live and to say they should be implementing Proportional Representation for elections. If you wish to support Proportional Representation and comment on you local boundary changes follow these links:
BBC interview
In support of the Make Votes Matter (MVM) and proportional representation (PR) - I was interviewed by BBC Radio Sussex this morning. talking about the Parliamentary boundary changes and Proportional Representation. Here is a recording of what I said. The MVM people have put the BBC interview in 2 sound recording on Twitter
How proposed constituency boundary changes affect villages surrounding Lewes shows that - far from providing good local representation - FPTP disconnects communities. All forms of PR in @MakeVotesMatter's #GoodSystemsAgreement keep a "local link". @victor_ient on @BBCSussex https://t.co/
Thanks to local @MakeVotesMatter supporters, we're continuing to #MakeNoiseForPR. Here's @victor_ient talking on @BBCSussex this morning about the proposed constituency boundary changes, & why #ProportionalRepresentation would be a much fairer, more democratic way to do things. https://t.co/
