Congratulations on a very good election result for you and your Substack. You have been consistent and courageous in sticking to your guns even - I suspect - at the cost of a withering blast of criticism from the very people you were most intent on warning of their immiment demise. Cassandras are never particularly well-liked, especially if they turn out to be correct. I hope your success turns into an even larger following for your excellent Substack and now YouTube channel and that you continue to dissect and reflect on the unfolding seismic political shifts in the UK and broader European context. Great work and a well deserved success.

We need PR for people to feel it is worth voting. I commented on another Substack that I was a 'don't vote, it only encourages them' person before Nigel Farage entered the fray. At which point I KNEW that he would get millions of votes and few seats and I KNEW he would then champion the cause of PR. Nigel Farage spent 25 years of his life getting us out of the EU. I believe his character is such that he will spend the next 25 years (if necessary!) getting us a fairer voting system. He is a conviction politician, not a Davos puppet,
