"There's a hundred forms of activism, campaigning, grass-roots movements, collective organisation and so on which operate outside the confines of voting to actually make a genuine improvement."
And several of those are above. Unlock Democracy is campaigning about lobbying at the moment, and as it says, organises people to help them to express their views to their MPs.
Bite The Ballot helps educate young people about politics, so that they can better get involved in campaigning.
Reform Groups Network are also campaigning against the "Gagging Law"
And the post also advocates getting involved in party politics of all stripes too.
So the post actually talks about those things you're advocating, but because it also talks about voting reform as _one_ of the things you can get involved with it's highly dispiriting?
