I agree, and I think quoting a mantra does work.

He has 2 things he could fire out continuously now before any election.
Which he more or less said in his speech yesterday.

' Really changing lives not slogans'

Plus when he stated.
' To really make Brexit work '.

Both represent a moving on, a positive move

Of course for me, IF he really wants to win the next election, and not have to have nonsense from the Lib Dems of them not working with either main party again.

Adopt PR.
Appeal to those who don't vote, it's around a quarter of voters who in the main feel it's pointless because their votes are wasted.

All other opposition parties support PR.
Crikey even the DUP.

If he really wants to be a party of government in and of the future, then adopt PR as policy.
Ever growing numbers of Labour members want it, even John McDonnell of Labour, would support it.

It's been overdue for decades.
Forms of it are used in Holyrood elections, the Welsh assembly, N Ireland, Mayoral elections and police and crime commissioner elections.

Just bring local and general elections now in line with all that too.

Really make ALL votes count as to government not just some votes.
