British politics is broken. Its time for a referundum on Proportional Representation ... again.
But this time do widespread education and awareness campaigns so that people can fully understand what they are voting for and what the benefits of Proportional Representation are, to #MakeBritainSmartAgain.
The Referendum should coincide with the Centenary of Full Universal Suffrage, so the countdown is on to celebrate when all men and women gained equal voting rights, with the Representation of the People Act 1928, which will reach its centenary on July 2, 2028 — 2 years, 7 months, and 16 days away. Citizens #StandUp to Make Your Vote Matter, Make Voting Count.
In 1918 Suffragette banners extolled 'Votes for Women', running up to 2028 the Suffragette Art of Creative Complaing is required again - 'Voice for Women'; Equal Representation in all political arenas. 50% Seats in Parliament and Local Government = #EqualVoice
In 2018 I created some protest artwork in the Suffragette Spirit of Creative Complaining.
As we approach the Centenary of Universal Suffrage in 2028 it strikes me that as much as there have been improvements and gains in equality since 2018, during the 'Decade of Change', we are now taking massive steps backwards.
With the rise of misogyny on social media, violence against women and the restrictions on reproductive rights now encroaching the USA.
This has led me back to the Art of Creative Complaining in developing protest artwork that questions the trajectory that the USA is now on, and it's worrying implications for women worldwide.
There are too many parallels that can be drawn from the authoritarianism and the oppressive, theocratic nature of the Fictional Republic of Gilead and the divisive potential of Project 2025 aka Gilead.
