Change doesn’t happen because those in power suddenly decide to be bolder - it happens when. Greens push them to be better. And on climate, that couldn’t be more urgent. Vote Green to keep fossil fuels in the ground, where they belong

- “comfy, cosy, simple two-party politics” is over. Trying to shoehorn the complexity of our society & economy into 2 parties through our ludicrous voting system simply won’t work. Burnham says he still supports PR - so where’s the action?

Labour is nostalgic for two-party politics. That cosy, simple time is over – let it go | John Harris
Our fragmented political model will endure for the foreseeable future – and Reform will benefit from it until Burnham learns that cooperation is key, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Don't confuse "wealth" with "super-wealth". The wealthy already pay their fair share because their wealth generally comes from earnings. But the super-wealthy pay nothing because they earn very little on paper. They instead make money with their money — which isn't taxed because we only tax earnings
