To #LabourConference2022 - a #ProgressiveAlliance is a process for defeating Tories at the next critical GE. It does not depend on policy pre-commitments. Parties agree to work together to encourage tactical voting and who will stand, depending on local voting behaviour.
To #LabourConference2022 - the next GE will be very tight. Handfuls of votes may make the difference between win/lose. A #ProgressiveAlliance reduces risks of lose. It increases the value of every vote. Makes every constituency competitive. Ensures no safe Tory hiding place.
To #LabourConference2022 - Tories pose an existential threat to our democratic way of life. They have to go at next GE. Not the one after. A #ProgressiveAlliance will consign them to political outer darkness for a generation. Join forces. #ProgressiveAlliance

#LabourConference2022 delegate from Edinburgh Vijay Jackson quotes Keir Hardie on why the labour movement should oppose the #monarchy

#QueenElizabethII #KingCharlesIII #NotMyKing #Labour #Lab22 Image
This is what Hardie said:

"Even under a representative system of government it is possible to paralyse a nation by maintaining the fiction that a reigning family is a necessity of good government. Now, one of two things must be – either the British people are fit to govern
themselves or they are not. If they are, an hereditary ruler who in legislation has more power than the whole nation is an insult. Despotism and monarchy are compatible; democracy and monarchy are an unthinkable connection.

In Sep 2018 80+% Labour members wanted a 2nd referendum & demanded it at conference.

The leadership diluted the policy so much that in Apr 2019 they were still opposing it, so people didn't trust Labour on Brexit at the election.

NOW 80+% of Labour members want Voting Reform.😬
Don't believe me?

Here's the proof!
September 2018.
