It isn’t right and I’ve long supported PR and coalition politics but then people voting for a right wing racist isn’t a good advert for PR.I am like you and have been advocating PR for years and years, It may be tougher, politicians may have to work a bit harder (bless 'em).
I fully recognise the risks involved and we could end up with Italian style politics where you never get a majority.... but think about this;#: Labour could and probably will end up with a landslide majority of 200+ seats meaning they will be able to herd their sheep into doing anything.... yet they will around only 45% of the public vote... does that seem correct?

We can't just think PR is a good idea if people only vote the way we like. We should have enough confidence in our democracy that we don't worry about reform or whoever getting a few seats - it's not like they'll be running the countryIt isn’t right and I’ve long supported PR and coalition politics but then people voting for a right wing racist isn’t a good advert for PR.

I know that’s true, but it’s quite possible for a group like reform or a left wing version get a hand on the steering wheel by getting into a coalition with a bigger party.We can't just think PT is a good idea if people only vote the way we like.

Isn't something similar about to happen in France?

If PR were to give them a realistic chance of power it wouldn't be a good idea though would it?
Hopefully Starmer is able to reverse the decline and get rid of the grifting Nazis for good.

It's the brexit thread all over again...
Does that mean you are voting for Nigel again then?
I thought you'd learnt your lesson.
