It’s Labour that really needs to get the ball rolling on this. I fear it needs to be forced through Parliament and the Tories definitely won’t. That leaves only Labour capable of doing it with support from SNP and Lib Dems and Greens.
My big fear is that Starmer will talk cute about PR to get into office but then he’ll quietly ditch it for a generation “now is not the time”. Yes it fucking is! It’s about better representing the country democratically you double breasted oaf! Now is precisely the right time.
FPTP benefits large incumbent already established parties AKA the Tories and Labour. Neither will vote to decrease any perceived majority they might have. And round and round we go! You can understand it from the Tories… it’s just disappointing from Labour.
