Fun facts from the 2024 election. Most seats had more people abstain than the winning party had votes and more abstain than the votes against the winning party combined. Followed by votes against the winning party outweighing votes for the winner. Leaving only 18 seats that had more votes for the winning party than either against them or abstained. Of course this drops to ZERO representation when you consider abstaining a vote against. The party system doesn’t work! We’re advocating for a new one. DTFUK.org

From Blair to Johnson, from Truss to Starmer. Let's be honest, UK politics is a desperately unfunny joke. Really ask why. Really ask yourself if Green vs Reform will be any different. YourParty vs Restore even? As much as you may agree with one or the other, do you not get that sinking feeling that the process itself is the problem. We do. DTFUK.org

@darrengrimes Another win for corruption. Ideological parties are a cancer. Fundamentally anti democratic in nature. If you want a democracy free from ideological zealotry, a democracy you control - DTFUK.org

Steve Reed suggests Labour MPs voted “together”. How many would’ve voted against the PM if they didn’t think they were being forced to cover up for sleazy Starmer? Most of them would assume it’s their job on the line.

What's telling is the fact that we even need a parliamentary vote to conduct an investigation to determine truth. This whole process relies on a corrupt system refusing access to achieve hindsight. At DTFUK.org our new system has proactive oversight. Transparency built in to prevent the corruption and malpractice in the first place. Parliament are paid by public funds, they work for us. There should be no secrets to hide.

This morning we learned Jonathan Powell was also appointed as National Security Adviser before being vetted. In February, I was told his security vetting had been conducted to the usual developed vetting standard. Yet more serious questions about whether due process was followed by this Government. Yet Labour MPs voted to deny the British people the answers we deserve.

@SorchaEastwood One of the few MPs who remain democratic. Clearly parties and the ideology they serve are the cause of much corruption. At DTFUK.org we're fighting for a better way to form government, without parties.

This is why I do what I do- I believe in fair play, getting on in life and that everyone should have a good life. But the elites are laughing at us- raking in the cash, chums getting plum jobs while my constituents can't pay their bills. I don't act from ideology- I act for what's best for people. My message has struck a chord because no matter your political opinion, we all agree that our lives are not getting better whilst the elites are thriving. Something has to change. I think it's worth building consensus on that so that all of our people have better lives and that power is held to account. No more elites shafting the little guy and rubbing our face in it!

@RupertLowe10 The corruption is real and ideological parties are the disease. Only when MPs are independent can you really stand a chance of them representing you instead of the party they serve. Time for a new system without parties. DTFUK.org has some suggestions.

Last night, MPs had a unique opportunity to force a forensic investigation on Starmer for his Mandelson sleaze. To expose him. I voted to drag him through it. 223 MPs did. That included Labour MPs who put their careers at risk to do the right thing. Farage failed to vote with us - he didn't bother to show up. We had a chance to finally drag the truth into the light, put him under brutal scrutiny, and let the British people see exactly how this corrupt system protects its own. Why get yourself elected to Parliament if, when a real moment of genuine consequence arrives, you are nowhere to be seen? Parliament isn't loads of fun, to be honest. I'd rather be doing other things. I would prefer to be in Great Yarmouth campaigning. But this is the job. It is what we are paid to do. It is our duty as MPs. And it is a duty that matters, especially on a vote as fundamental as this one. The absence of those who should have been there in our Parliament to hold this rotten Prime Minister to account speaks louder than any speech they could ever make.

@aliciakearns The whip exemplifies how anti democratic party politics is. We won't see an actual democracy until all parties disband. DTFUK.org

Labour’s decision to whip MPs to vote against the Privilege’s Committee, is wrong.

@dshensmith As I've been saying. The whip exemplifies how party politics is fundamentally at odds with democracy. We need an entirely new system, without parties, if we are to ever have democracy. DTFUK.org

Great speech, yet most of them just did what they were told. These votes should be secret, or rules against kicking them out if they vote honestly.

@RichardBurgon Whipping MPs for any reason is fundamentally anti democratic. DTFUK.org

I just voted for the motion for Keir Starmer to go to the Privileges Committee over the Mandelson issue. Whipping MPs to block this was wrong and reinforces so much of what people hate about Westminster.

@ReformedMedia_ @RupertLowe10 Not entirely pointless. They may not have changed the result but it would have shown some integrity. The fact that Starmer can crack a whip and have his minions defend him shows how anti Democratic Party politics is. DTFUK.org

@dtf_uk @RupertLowe10 It was pointless them voting as Starmer fixed the vote so he won 🥴

I voted in Parliament to have Starmer investigated.

@mickjones1 @ArchRose90 I for one hope you're right. Independents and maybe members of very small parties are the only MP's that come close to representing their constituents. The whip is anti democratic. Parties are anti democratic. DTFUK.org

@dtf_uk @ArchRose90 This time tomorrow they will all be independents Starmer does not like to be made a fool of

335 MPs who voted against referring Keir Starmer to the Privileges Committee. A list of shame. Not an ounce of integrity between them. An advertising blitz will now hit the constituency of every Labour hypocrite on this list. They’ve increased their annihilation on May 7th!

#notrecorded" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">votes.parliament.uk/votes/commons/… If you're wondering how on earth Starmer still has a job. Party politics and the whip in action. The fact that a fair few didn't vote or turn up at all shows they either don't care about you or have a little faith in the system as you do.

Why does the whip even exist? Because the ideology must come first. Disagree and be expelled. The simple existence of the whip proves that party politics and ideology are incompatible with democracy. DTFUK.org are fighting for a new system, free from ideological dogma. *website may be undergoing updates.

Yesterday Keir Starmer was claiming his MPs supported him. If that’s the case, why does he need to whip them.

So they’re basically admitting to losing the younger vote and statistically the older votes lean to the right. This is why there is no Labour leadership contest. They all know that despite having Starmer destroying their reputation they at least have control for now. A leadership contest could result in a snap election which they would almost certainly lose. Might as well keep their pay checks coming while they can.

Labour MPs are urging Keir Starmer to shelve plans to lower the voting age to 16 at general elections amid fears that the Green Party will benefit from it. Hang on, so votes at 16 is about “fairness” and “empowering” young people but only if it benefits Labour? I’m shocked. 🙃

“Government puts party interests ahead of public” Yes, always. That’s how ideologies operate. They argue that their interests ARE the publics interests. Essentially ignoring any public consensus because they believe they know better than we do. Regardless of whether they are right or not it means ideological party politics is incompatible with democracy. DTFUK.org * have rewritten our system to cut out cancerous parties that were all fed up with and put power back into public votes. *website may be undergoing some updates.

In my latest column for the #Woking News and Mail, I write about Parliament returning from Easter recess - and the Government’s plans prorogue Parliament until the King’s Speech. Read it here ⬇️ wokingnewsandmail.co.uk/opinion/govern…

@ArchRose90 Currently a referendum is the only way our system can find a consensus. The last government to have a genuine majority of votes was in 1935 but even then it’s impossible to determine which policies are mandated and which are not. closer.ac.uk/data/share-vot…

It wasn’t that long ago that some people eagerly wanted the House of Lords to block Brexit, even though Brexit had a mandate from the British public. Now those same people are appalled that the House of Lords didn’t pass the flawed Assisted Dying Bill, which has no mandate.

@Councillorsuzie By people she means who exactly? You can all but guarantee the defendants would choose any court but Sharia if given the choice, making her point moot.

Oh no! We do not want Sharia courts in Britain thank you very much! Whatever next.

@ZiaYusufUK Starting to sound a bit like Rupert Lowe there Zia.

The whole “unite the right” BS many Tories push is a deliberate psyop. Politics is no longer about right vs left. It’s establishment vs anti-establishment. The establishment must be smashed.

@BenGrahamUK @RicHolden Saying people voted Labour is a bit misleading. Some did of course but only 34% That’s the lowest win for at least 100 years. closer.ac.uk/data/share-vot… Our system is simply old and decrepit. DTFUK.org are advocating for a new one.

Rishi Sunak warned us exactly what would happen. People laughed it off, and voted for Labour. Now his prediction looks spot on. Call it what it is, he was right.
