5th May 2022 local elections:

Get ready to deprive many many Tories of re-election.
Join with others to make your local citizen's #ProgressiveAlliance

1. Entry Point:
Find your #ForwardTogether constituency Facebook page. To meet. Talk. Organise.

@chilterns4
@EricaNeustadt
2. Group Formation:
@CompassOffice groups already exist or can be set up.
@RebootGb groups likewise.
Or just make your own new group using #ForwardTogether FB page.
3. Make your plan:
Talk to other groups. Talk to local parties. Look at voting data. Select your tools. @GOV2UK is developing tactical voting & countering misinformation tools.

We don't have a national orchestrator for formal #ProgressiveAlliance.
So we have to make an informal national network through our own efforts.
A citizen's #ProgressiveAlliance.

Citizens of #NorthShropshire. What can you do to deprive Tories of power?
1. Pressure oppo parties to co-operate. To make cross-party plan based on local voting behaviour & needs #ProgressiveAlliance.
2. Campaign for tactical voting. Ideally combined with 1.
@chilterns4
Local people can come together to:
1. Encourage @NShropshire_CLP @DemsNorth @NShropsGreens to co-operate. (P.S. don't be put off by @UKLabour saying their party rules don't let them. Time for excuses is over).
2. Encourage people to vote tactically.

@Neal_Compass I live in #CheshamAndAmersham @derek_rocholl. Campaigned for tactical voting in 2019. Now campaigning for #ProgressiveAlliance. In recent by-election, we needed some votes from @conservatives. These would never have voted @UKLabour. This is why local plans are needed
@chilterns4
@Neal_Compass @derek_rocholl @Conservatives @UKLabour @chilterns4 Also, in 2019, we campaigned for tactical voting in 4 Chilterns constituencies. Lack of reciprocity lost us all four seats. @libdems would not stand aside in High Wycombe because @UKLabour would not stand aside in Chesham and Amersham. Frankly, absurd, irresponsible @chilterns4
@Neal_Compass @derek_rocholl @Conservatives @UKLabour @chilterns4 @LibDems Frankly I NEVER want to feel what I felt the day after 2019 election. Wandering dazed through Chesham. Seeing the damage the @conservatives had done/would do. Feeling devastated. Knowing that if there had been cooperation then we would have won at least High Wycombe @chilterns4

I don't want my pension fund investing in 'British entrepreneurial spirit'. That is not an investment goal with any social, environmental or economic value. And there are slim pickings amongst 'British success stories'.

theguardian.com/business/2021/…
James Anderson, outgoing head of Scottish Mortgage who knows a thing or two about investing in entrepreneurial companies, sees few value-creating opportunities in UK. What little we have, we sell off - ARM being the most egregious example.

For those that have a choice of where to grow their companies, the UK is not number one on their list. PsiQuantum founder, Jeremy O'Brien, developed the technology at Bristol University. But took his start-up to California.

Hope for us activists.
Collective action as a pathway for psychological healing of whole communities.
I reckon we need this.
#COVID19
#Brexit
#ClimateAction

societyforpsychotherapy.org/a-psychologica…
By the way, #ElectionsBill sets out to undermine political collective action. Or joining together for common purpose to achieve peaceful transfer of power in elections.
A very important element of collective action is resilience (personal and collective). And resilience, in turn, is linked to a sense of life having meaning & purpose. Again, #ElectionsBill raises barriers to joint purposing in our political lives.
